1 This is the burden against the Valley of Vision: What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the rooftops,
·
2 O city of commotion, O town of revelry? Your slain did not die by the sword, nor were they killed in battle.
·
3 All your rulers have fled together, captured without a bow. All your fugitives were captured together, having fled to a distant place.
·
4 Therefore I said, “Turn away from me, let me weep bitterly! Do not try to console me over the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
·
5 For the Lord GOD of Hosts has set a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the Valley of Vision—of breaking down the walls and crying to the mountains.
·
6 Elam takes up a quiver, with chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovers the shield.
·
7 Your choicest valleys are full of chariots, and horsemen are posted at the gates.
·
8 He has uncovered the defenses of Judah. On that day you looked to the weapons in the House of the Forest.
·
9 You saw that there were many breaches in the walls of the City of David. You collected water from the lower pool.
·
10 You counted the houses of Jerusalem and tore them down to strengthen the wall.
·
11 You built a reservoir between the walls for the waters of the ancient pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or consider Him who planned it long ago.
·
12 On that day the Lord GOD of Hosts called for weeping and wailing, for shaven heads and the wearing of sackcloth.
·
13 But look, there is joy and gladness, butchering of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
·
14 The LORD of Hosts has revealed in my hearing: “Until your dying day, this sin of yours will never be atoned for,” says the Lord GOD of Hosts.
·
15 This is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “Go, say to Shebna, the steward in charge of the palace:
·
16 What are you doing here, and who authorized you to carve out a tomb for yourself here—to chisel your tomb in the height and cut your resting place in the rock?
·
17 Look, O mighty man! The LORD is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you,
·
18 roll you into a ball, and sling you into a wide land. There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will remain—a disgrace to the house of your master.
·
19 I will remove you from office, and you will be ousted from your position.
·
20 On that day I will summon My servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
·
21 I will clothe him with your robe and tie your sash around him. I will put your authority in his hand, and he will be a father to the dwellers of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
·
22 I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.
·
23 I will drive him like a peg into a firm place, and he will be a throne of glory for the house of his father.
·
24 So they will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house: the descendants and the offshoots—all the lesser vessels, from bowls to every kind of jar.
·
25 In that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, the peg driven into a firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and fall, and the load upon it will be cut down.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 22:13 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon XXIV)

    So with the Scribes; suppose them to speak out of their own heart; thou wilt hear, "Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we shall die." Suppose them to speak from Moses' seat; thou wilt hear, "Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shall not steal, Thou shall not bear false witness.
