[1]The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou hast wholly gone up to the house-tops? |
| [2]Thou that art full of tumultuousnes, thou troublesome and proude citie: Thy slayne men are neither put to death with the sworde, nor dead in battayle |
[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 captaynes are fugitiue together, the archers haue taken them prisoners: All they I say that are founde in thee are in captiuitie together, and they also that fled farre of |

| [4]Therfore sayde I, Let me alone, and I wyll make lamentation: Ye shall not be able to comfort me because of the destruction of the daughter of my people |
[4]Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labor not to comfort me, because of the devastation of the daughter of my people. |

| [6]Elam bare the quiuer with a charret of footmen and horsemen, and the citie of Kir shewed the shielde open |
[6]And Elam bore the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield. |
| [7]Thy chiefe valley also was full of charrettes, and the horsemen set their faces directly towarde the gate |
[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. |
| [8]And in that day dyd the enemie take away the couer of Iuda, and then didst thou loke towarde 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 collected the waters of the lower pool. |
| [10]As for the houses of Hierusalem ye haue numbred them, and the houses haue ye broken downe, to make the wall strong |
[10]And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall. |

| [14]And it came to the eares of the Lorde of hoastes, This iniquitie shall not be purged from you tyll ye dye, saith the Lorde God of hoastes |
[14]And it was revealed in my 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 hoastes: Get ye vnto yonder treasurer, euen vnto Sebna, which is the ruler of the house |
[15]Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, repair to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say, |
| [16]What hast thou to do here? and whom hast thou here? that thou shouldest here hewe thee out a sepulchree, as it were one that heweth hym out a sepulchree on hye, or that graueth an habitation for hym selfe on an harde rocke |
[16]What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulcher here, as he that heweth him out a sepulcher on high, and that graveth a habitation for himself in a rock? |
| [17]Beholde O thou man, the Lorde shal cary thee away into captiuitie, and shall surely couer thee with confusion |
[17]Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee. |
| [18]The Lorde shal turne thee ouer like a ball with his handes [and shall sende thee] into a farre countrey: there shalt thou dye, and there in steade of the charrets of thy pompe, shall the house of thy Lorde haue confusion |
[18]With violence he will surely turn and toss thee like a ball into a wide country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house. |
| [19]I wyll driue thee from thy place, and out of thy dwellyng shal he ouerthrowe thee |
[19]And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down. |
| [20]And in that day shall I call my seruaunt Eliakim the sonne of Helkia |
[20]And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah: |
| [21]And with thy garmentes wyll I clothe hym, and with thy girdle wyll I strength hym: thy power also wyll I commit into his hande, and he shalbe a father of such as dwell in Hierusalem, and in the house of Iuda |
[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 Dauid wyll I lay vpon his shoulder: so that he shall open and no man shut, he shall shut and no man open |
[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 wyll fasten hym as a nayle in a sure place, and he shalbe the glorious seate of his fathers house |
[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]Moreouer, all generations and posterities shall hang vpon him all the glorie of their fathers house, all vessels both great and small, and all instrumentes of measure and musicke |
[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. |
| [25]In that day saith the Lord of hoastes, shall the nayle that is fastened in the sure place, depart and be broken, and fall: and the burthen that was vpon it shalbe pluckt away, for so the Lorde hath spoken |
[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. |
