A PRONOUNCEMENT AGAINST JERUSALEM
22 A pronouncementm concerning the Valley of Vision:n
What’s the matter with you?
Why have all of you gone up to the rooftops?o
2 The noisy city, the jubilant town,p
is filled with celebration.
Your dead did not die by the sword;
they were not killed in battle.
3 All your rulers have fled together,
captured without a bow.
All your fugitives were captured together;
they had fled far away.
“Look away from me! Let me weep bitterly!q
Do not try to comfort me
about the destruction of my dearD people.”
had a day of tumult, trampling, and confusionr
in the Valley of Vision—
people shoutingE and crying to the mountains;
with chariots and horsemen,F
and Kirs uncovered the shield.
7 Your best valleys were full of chariots,
and horsemen were positioned at the city gates.
8 He removed the defenses of Judah.
On that day you looked to the weapons in the House of the Forest.t 9 You saw that there were many breaches in the walls of the city of David.u You collected water from the lower pool.v 10 You counted the houses of Jerusalem so that you could tear them down to fortify the wall. 11 You made a reservoir between the wallsw for the water of the ancient pool,x but you did not look to the one who made it, or consider the one who created it long ago.
12 On that day the Lord God of Armies
called for weeping,y for wailing, for shaven heads,
and for the wearing of sackcloth.
13 But look: joy and gladness,
butchering of cattle, slaughtering of sheep and goats,
eating of meat, and drinking of wine—
“Let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”a
14 The Lord of Armies has directly revealed to me:b
“This iniquity will not be wiped out for you people as long as you live.”A,c
The Lord God of Armies has spoken.
A PRONOUNCEMENT AGAINST SHEBNA
15 The Lord God of Armies said, “Go to Shebna,d that steward who is in charge of the palace, and say to him: 16 What are you doing here? Who authorized you to carve out a tomb for yourself here, carving your tomb on the height and cutting a resting place for yourself out of rock?e 17 Look, you strong man! The Lord is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you, 18 wind you up into a ball, and sling you into a wide land.B There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will be—a disgrace to the house of your lord. 19 I will remove you from your office; you will be ousted from your position.
20 “On that day I will call for my servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.f 21 I will clothe him with your robe and tie your sash around him. I will hand your authority over to him, and he will be like a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.g 22 I will place the keyh of the house of David on his shoulder; what he opens, no one can close; what he closes, no one can open.i 23 I will drive him, like a peg, into a firm place. He will be a throne of honor for his father’s family. 24 They will hang on him all the glory of his father’s family: the descendants and the offshoots—all the small vessels, from bowls to every kind of jar. 25 On that day”—the declaration of the Lord of Armies—“the peg that was driven into a firm place will give way, be cut off, and fall, and the load on it will be destroyed.” Indeed, the Lord has spoken.
23 A pronouncementj concerning Tyre:k
Wail, ships of Tarshish,l
for your haven has been destroyed.
Word has reached them from the land of Cyprus.C,m
2 Mourn, inhabitants of the coastland,
you merchants of Sidon;n
your agents have crossed the seaA
Tyre’s revenue was the grain from Shihor—
the harvest of the Nile.
She was the merchant among the nations.o
4 Be ashamed, Sidon, the stronghold of the sea,
for the sea has spoken:
“I have not been in labor or given birth.
I have not raised young men
or brought up young women.”
5 When the news reaches Egypt,
they will be in anguish over the news about Tyre.p
wail, inhabitants of the coastland!
whose origin was in ancient times,
whose feet have taken her
to reside far away?
8 Who planned this against Tyre,
the bestower of crowns,
whose traders are princes,
whose merchants are the honored ones of the earth?
9 The Lord of Armies planned it,
to desecrate all its glorious beauty,
to disgrace all the honored ones of the earth.
10 OverflowB your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish;
there is no longer anything to restrain you.C
11 He stretched out his hand over the sea;q
he made kingdoms tremble.
The Lord has commanded
that the Canaanite fortresses be destroyed.
“You will not celebrate anymore,
ravished young woman, daughter of Sidon.
Get up and cross over to Cyprusr—
even there you will have no rest!”
13 Look at the land of the Chaldeans—
a people who no longer exist.
Assyria destined it for desert creatures.
They set up their siege towers
and stripped its palaces.
They made it a ruin.
because your fortress is destroyed!
15 On that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years—the life span of one king. At the end of seventy years, what the song says about the prostitute will happen to Tyre:
stroll through the city,
you forgotten prostitute.
Play skillfully,
sing many a song
so that you will be remembered.
17 And at the end of the seventy years,a the Lord will restore Tyreb and she will go back into business, prostituting herself with all the kingdoms of the world throughout the earth. 18 But her profits and wages will be dedicated to the Lord. They will not be stored or saved, for her profit will go to those who live in the Lord’s presence, to provide them with ample food and sacred clothing.
24 Look, the Lord is stripping the earth bare
and making it desolate.
He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants:
servant and master,
female servant and mistress,
buyer and seller,
lender and borrower,
creditor and debtor.
3 The earth will be stripped completely bare
and will be totally plundered,
for the Lord has spoken this message.c
4 The earth mourns and withers;
the world wastes away and withers;
the exalted people of the earth waste away.
5 The earth is polluted by its inhabitants,d
for they have transgressed teachings,
overstepped decrees,
and broken the permanent covenant.e
6 Therefore a curse has consumed the earth,f
and its inhabitants have become guilty;
the earth’s inhabitants have been burned,
and only a few survive.
7 The new wine mourns;g
the vine withers.
All the carousers now groan.
8 The joyful tambourinesh have ceased.
The noise of the jubilant has stopped.
The joyful lyre has ceased.
9 They no longer sing and drink wine;
beer is bitter to those who drink it.
10 The city of chaos is shattered;i
every house is closed to entry.j
11 In the streets they cryA for wine.
All joy grows dark;
earth’s rejoicing goes into exile.
12 Only desolation remains in the city;
its gate has collapsed in ruins.
13 For this is how it will be on earth
among the nations:
like a harvested olive tree,
like a gleaning after a grape harvest.k
14 They raise their voices, they sing out;
they proclaim in the west
the majesty of the Lord.
15 Therefore, in the east honor the Lord!
In the coasts and islands of the west
honor the name of the Lord,
the God of Israel.
16 From the ends of the earth we hear songs:
The Splendor of the Righteous One.l
But I said, “I waste away! I waste away!A
Woe is me.”
The treacherous act treacherously;
the treacherous deal very treacherously.m
17 Panic, pit, and trap await youn
who dwell on the earth.o
18 Whoever flees at the sound of panic
will fall into a pit,
and whoever escapes from the pit
will be caught in a trap.
For the floodgates on high are opened,a
and the foundations of the earth are shaken.b
19 The earth is completely devastated;
the earth is split open;
the earth is violently shaken.
20 The earth staggers like a drunkardc
and sways like a hut.
Earth’s rebellion weighs it down,
and it falls, never to rise again.
21 On that dayd the Lord will punish
the army of the heights in the heights
and the kings of the ground on the ground.
22 They will be gathered together
like prisoners in a pit.e
They will be confined to a dungeon;f
after many days they will be punished.
23 The moon will be put to shame
and the sun disgraced,
because the Lord of Armies will reign as king
on Mount Zion in Jerusalem,
and he will display his glory
in the presence of his elders.g

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
