022:011 You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water
of the old pool. But you didn't look to him who had done this,
neither did you have respect for him who purposed it long ago.
022:012 In that day, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, called to weeping,
and to mourning, and to baldness, and to dressing in sackcloth:
022:013 and behold, joy and gladness, killing oxen and killing sheep,
eating flesh and drinking wine: "Let us eat and drink,
for tomorrow we will die."
022:014 Yahweh of Armies revealed himself in my ears, "Surely this
iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die,"
says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.
022:015 Thus says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, "Go, get yourself to
this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,
022:016 'What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have
dug out a tomb here?' Cutting himself out a tomb on high,
chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock!"
022:017 Behold, Yahweh will overcome you and hurl you away violently.
Yes, he will grasp you firmly.
022:018 He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you
like a ball into a large country. There you will die,
and there the chariots of your glory will be, you shame
of your lord's house.
022:019 I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down
from your station.
022:020 It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim
the son of Hilkiah,
022:021 and I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him
with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand;
and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
and to the house of Judah.
022:022 I will lay the key of the house of David on his shoulder.
He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no
one will open.
022:023 I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place.
He will be for a throne of glory to his father's house.
022:024 They will hang on him all the glory of his father's house,
the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups
even to all the pitchers.
022:025 "In that day," says Yahweh of Armies, "the nail that was fastened
in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down, and fall.
The burden that was on it will be cut off, for Yahweh
has spoken it."
023:001 The burden of Tyre. Howl, you ships of Tarshish! For it
is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in.
From the land of Kittim it is revealed to them.
023:002 Be still, you inhabitants of the coast, you whom the merchants
of Sidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.
023:003 On great waters, the seed of the Shihor, the harvest of the Nile,
was her revenue. She was the market of nations.
