1	The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up# to the housetops?
			2	Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous# city, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead# in battle.
			3	All thy rulers are fled# together, they are bound# by the archers: all that are found# in thee are bound# together, which have fled# from far. [by...: Heb. of the bow]
			4	Therefore said# I, Look away# from me; I will weep bitterly# , labour# not to comfort# me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people. [weep...: Heb. be bitter in weeping]
			5	For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking# down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.
			6	And Elam bare# the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered# the shield. [uncovered: Heb. made naked]
			7	And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full# of chariots, and the horsemen shall set# themselves in array# at the gate. [thy...: Heb. the choice of thy valleys] [at: or, toward]
			8	And he discovered# the covering of Judah, and thou didst look# in that day to the armour of the house of the forest.
			9	Ye have seen# also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many# : and ye gathered together# the waters of the lower pool.
			10	And ye have numbered# the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down# to fortify# the wall.
			11	Ye made# also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked# unto the maker# thereof, neither had respect# unto him that fashioned# it long ago.
			12	And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call# to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding# with sackcloth:
			13	And behold joy and gladness, slaying# oxen, and killing# sheep, eating# flesh, and drinking# wine: let us eat# and drink# ; for to morrow we shall die# .
			14	And it was revealed# in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged# from you till ye die# , saith# the Lord GOD of hosts.
			15	Thus saith# the Lord GOD of hosts, Go# , get# thee unto this treasurer# , even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say ,
			16	What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out# a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out# a sepulchre on high, and that graveth# an habitation for himself in a rock? [as...: or, O he]
			17	Behold, the LORD will carry thee away# with a mighty captivity, and will surely# cover# thee. [will carry...: or, who covered thee with an excellent covering, and clothed thee gorgeously, (next verse) shall surely, etc] [a mighty...: Heb. the captivity of a man]
			18	He will surely# violently turn# and toss thee like a ball into a large# country: there shalt thou die# , and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house. [large: Heb. large of spaces]
			19	And I will drive# thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down# .
			20	And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call# my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:
			21	And I will clothe# him with thy robe, and strengthen# him with thy girdle, and I will commit# thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants# of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
			22	And the key of the house of David will I lay# upon his shoulder; so he shall open# , and none shall shut# ; and he shall shut# , and none shall open# .
			23	And I will fasten# him as a nail in a sure# place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.
			24	And they shall hang# upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons. [vessels of flagons: or, instruments of viols]
			25	In that day, saith# the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened# in the sure# place be removed# , and be cut down# , and fall# ; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off# : for the LORD hath spoken# it .
