NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Isaiah 22

The Valley of Vision

1

The  1oracleh4853b concerning the  avalleyh1516 of visionh2384. Whath4100 is the matter with you nowh645, that you have allh3605 goneh5927 up to the  bhousetopsh1406?

2

You whoh4392 were fullh4392 of noiseh8663, You boisteroush1993 townh5892b, you  aexultanth5947 cityh7151; Your slainh2491a were  bnot slainh2491a with the swordh2719, Norh3808  1did they dieh4191 in battleh4421.

3

 aAllh3605 your rulersh7101 have fledh5074 togetherh3162, And have been capturedh631  1withouth4480 the bowh7198; Allh3605 of you who were foundh4672 were takenh631 captiveh631 togetherh3164a,  2Though they had fledh1272 farh7350 away.

4

Thereforeh5921h3651 I sayh559, "Turnh8159 your eyesh8159 awayh4480 from me, Let me  aweeph1065 bitterlyh4843, Do not  1tryh213 to comforth5162 me concerningh5921 the destructionh7701 of the daughterh1323 of my peopleh5971a."

5

 aFor the Lordh136  1GODh3068 of hostsh6635 has a  bdayh3117 of panich4103,  csubjugationh4001 and confusionh3998  dIn the valleyh1516 of visionh2384, A breakingh7175a downh7175a of wallsh7023 And a cryingh7771b  2to the mountainh2022.

6

 aElamh5867a tookh5375 up the quiverh827 With the chariotsh7393,  1infantryh120 and horsemenh6571b; And  bKirh7024b uncoveredh6168 the shieldh4043.

7

Then your choicesth4005 valleysh6010 were fullh4390 of chariotsh7393, And the horsemenh6571b tookh7896 up fixedh7896 positionsh7896 at the gateh8179.

8

And He removedh1540 the  1defenseh4539 of Judahh3063. In that dayh3117 you  2dependedh5027 on the weaponsh5402 of the  ahouseh1004 of the foresth3293a,

9

And you sawh7200 that the breachesh1233 In the wall of the cityh5892b of Davidh1732 were manyh7231; And you  acollectedh6908 the watersh4325 of the lowerh8481 poolh1295.

10

Then you countedh5608 the housesh1004 of Jerusalemh3389 And toreh5422 downh5422 housesh1004 to fortifyh1219 the wallh2346.

11

And you madeh6213a a reservoirh4724  abetweenh996 the twoh2346 wallsh2346 For the watersh4325 of the  boldh3465 poolh1295. But you did not  1dependh5027 on Him who madeh6213a it, Norh3808 did you  2takeh7200 into considerationh7200 Him who plannedh3335 it longh7350 agoh7350.

12

Therefore in that dayh3117 the Lordh136  1GODh3068 of hostsh6635 calledh7121 you to  aweepingh1065, to wailingh4553, To  bshavingh7144 the headh7144 and to wearingh2296 sackclothh8242.

13

Instead, there is  agaietyh8342 and gladnessh8057, Killingh2026 of cattleh1241 and slaughteringh7819 of sheeph6629, Eatingh398 of meath1320 and drinkingh8354 of wineh3196: " bLet us eath398 and drinkh8354, for tomorrowh4279 we may dieh4191."

14

But the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635 revealedh1540 Himself  1to me, "Surelyh518 thish2088  ainiquityh5771  bshall not be  2forgivenh3722a you  cUntilh5704 you dieh4191," saysh559 the Lordh136  3GODh3068 of hostsh6635.

15

Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136  1GODh3068 of hostsh6635, "Comeh1980, goh935 to thish2088 stewardh5532a, To  aShebnah7644, whoh834 is in chargeh5921 of the royal householdh1004,

16

`Whath4100 right do you have hereh6311, And whomh4310 do you have hereh6311, That you have  ahewnh2672 a tombh6913 for yourself hereh6311, You who hewh2672 a tombh6913 on the heighth4791, You who carveh2710 a restingh4908 placeh4908 for  1yourself in the rockh5553?

17

`Beholdh2009, the LORDh3068 is about to hurlh2904 you headlongh2925, O manh1397. And He is about to grasph5844b you firmlyh5844b

18

And rollh6801 you tightlyh6801 like a ballh1754, To be  acast into a vasth7342 countryh776; Thereh8033 you will dieh4191 And thereh8033 your splendidh3519b chariotsh4818 will be, You shameh7036 of your master'sh113 househ1004.'

19

"I will  adeposeh1920 you from your officeh4673, And  1I will pullh2040 you downh2040 from your stationh4612.

20

"Then it will comeh1961 about in that dayh3117, That I will summonh7121 My servanth5650  aEliakimh471 the sonh1121 of Hilkiahh2518,

21

And I will clotheh3847 him with your tunich3801 And tieh2388 your sashh73 securelyh2388 about him. I will entrusth5414h3027 him with your  1authorityh4475, And he will becomeh1961 a  afatherh1 to the inhabitantsh3427 of Jerusalemh3389 and to the househ1004 of Judahh3063.

22

"Then I will seth5414  athe keyh4668 of the  bhouseh1004 of Davidh1732 on his shoulderh7926, When he opensh6605a noh369 oneh369 will shuth5462, When he shutsh5462 noh369 oneh369 will  copenh6605a.

23

"I will driveh8628 him like a  apegh3489 in a firmh539 placeh4725, And he will becomeh1961 a  bthroneh3678 of gloryh3519b to his father'sh1 househ1004.

24

"So they will hangh8518 on him allh3605 the gloryh3519b of his father'sh1 househ1004, offspringh6631 and  1issueh6849, allh3605 the leasth6996a of vesselsh3627, from bowlsh3627h101 to allh3605 the jarsh3627h5035a.

25

"In that dayh3117," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, "the  apegh3489 drivenh8628 in a firmh539 placeh4725 will giveh4185 wayh4185; it will even  bbreakh1438 offh1438 and fallh5307, and the loadh4853a hanging on it will be cuth3772 offh3772, for the  cLORDh3068 has spokenh1696."
