Isaiah 22 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

The Valley of Vision

Isa 22:1The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?

Isa 22:2Thou that wast full of stir, a town of tumult, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.

Isa 22:3

Isa 22:3All thy rulers have fled together, they are taken prisoners without the bow: all that are found of thee are made prisoners together; they were fleeing far off.

Isa 22:4

Isa 22:4Therefore said I, Look away from me; let me weep bitterly: labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.

Isa 22:5

Isa 22:5For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision; a day of breaking down the wall, and of crying to the mountain:

Isa 22:6

Isa 22:6-- Elam beareth the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovereth the shield.

Isa 22:7

Isa 22:7And 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.

Isa 22:8

Isa 22:8And he uncovereth the covering of Judah: and thou didst look in that day to the armour in the house of the forest;

Isa 22:9

Isa 22:9and ye have seen the breaches of the city of David, that they are many; and ye have gathered together the waters of the lower pool;

Isa 22:10

Isa 22:10and ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and have broken down the houses to fortify the wall;

Isa 22:11

Isa 22:11and ye have made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not had regard unto the maker thereof, neither have ye looked unto him that fashioned it long ago.

Isa 22:12

Isa 22:12And in that day did the Lord Jehovah of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth;

Isa 22:13

Isa 22:13and behold joy and rejoicing, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: -- Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.

Isa 22:14

Isa 22:14And it was revealed in mine ears by Jehovah of hosts: Assuredly this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.

Isa 22:15

Isa 22:15Thus saith the Lord Jehovah of hosts: Go, get thee in unto this steward, unto Shebna, who is over the house, and say,

Isa 22:16

Isa 22:16What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewn thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth out his sepulchre on high, cutting out in the rock a habitation for himself?

Isa 22:17

Isa 22:17Behold, Jehovah will hurl thee with the force of a mighty man, and will cover thee entirely.

Isa 22:18

Isa 22:18Rolling thee up completely, he will roll thee as a ball into a wide country: there shalt thou die, and there shall be the chariots of thy glory, O shame of thy lord's house!

Isa 22:19

Isa 22:19And I will drive thee from thine office, and from thy station will I pull thee down.

Isa 22:20

Isa 22:20And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkijah;

Isa 22:21

Isa 22:21and 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.

Isa 22:22

Isa 22:22And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

Isa 22:23

Isa 22:23And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father's house:

Isa 22:24

Isa 22:24and they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all the small vessels, as well the vessels of cups as all the vessels of flagons.

Isa 22:25

Isa 22:25In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in a sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for Jehovah hath spoken.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
