[1]The birthun of the valei of visioun. What also is to thee, for and al thou stiedist in to roouys, [1]The burdenH4853 of the valleyH1516 of visionH2384. What aileth thee nowH645, that thou art wholly gone upH5927[H8804] to the housetopsH1406?
[2]thou ful of cry, a citee of myche puple, a citee ful out ioiynge? thi slayn men weren not slayn bi swerd, nether thi deed men weren deed in batel. [2]Thou that art fullH4392 of stirsH8663, a tumultuousH1993[H8802] cityH5892, a joyousH5947 cityH7151: thy slainH2491 men are not slainH2491 with the swordH2719, nor deadH4191[H8801] in battleH4421.
[3]Alle thi princes fledden togidere, and weren boundun harde; alle that weren foundun, weren boundun togidere, thei fledden fer. [3]All thy rulersH7101 are fledH5074[H8804] togetherH3162, they are boundH631[H8795] by the archersH7198: all that are foundH4672[H8737] in thee are boundH631[H8795] togetherH3162, which have fledH1272[H8804] from farH7350.
[4]Therfor Y seide, Go ye awei fro me, Y schal wepe bittirli; nyle ye be bisie to coumforte me on the distriyng of the douyter of my puple. [4]Therefore saidH559[H8804] I, Look awayH8159[H8798] from me; I will weepH1065 bitterlyH4843[H8762], labourH213[H8686] not to comfortH5162[H8763] me, because of the spoilingH7701 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971.
[5]For whi a dai of sleyng, and of defoulyng, and of wepyngis, is ordeined of the Lord God of oostis, in the valei of visioun; and he serchith the walle, and is worschipful on the hil. [5]For it is a dayH3117 of troubleH4103, and of treading downH4001, and of perplexityH3998 by the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 in the valleyH1516 of visionH2384, breakingH6979[H8772] down the wallsH7023, and of cryingH7771 to the mountainsH2022.
[6]And Helam took an arowe caas, and the chare of an horse man; and the scheeld made nakid the wal. [6]And ElamH5867 bareH5375[H8804] the quiverH827 with chariotsH7393 of menH120 and horsemenH6571, and KirH7024 uncoveredH6168[H8765] the shieldH4043.
[7]And thi chosun valeis, Jerusalem, schulen be ful of cartis; and knyytis schulen putte her seetis in the yate. [7]And it shall come to pass, that thy choicestH4005 valleysH6010 shall be fullH4390[H8804] of chariotsH7393, and the horsemenH6571 shall setH7896[H8804] themselves in arrayH7896[H8800] at the gateH8179.
[8]And the hilyng of Juda schal be schewid; and thou schalt se in that dai the place of armuris of the hous of the forest; [8]And he discoveredH1540[H8762] the coveringH4539 of JudahH3063, and thou didst lookH5027[H8686] in that dayH3117 to the armourH5402 of the houseH1004 of the forestH3293.
[9]and ye schulen se the crasyngis of the citee of Dauid, for tho ben multiplied. Ye gaderiden togidere the watris of the lowere cisterne, [9]Ye have seenH7200[H8804] also the breachesH1233 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, that they are manyH7231[H8804]: and ye gathered togetherH6908[H8762] the watersH4325 of the lowerH8481 poolH1295.
[10]and ye noumbriden the housis of Jerusalem, and ye distrieden housis, to make strong the wal; and ye maden a lake bitwixe twei wallis, [10]And ye have numberedH5608[H8804] the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389, and the housesH1004 have ye broken downH5422[H8799] to fortifyH1219[H8763] the wallH2346.
[11]and ye restoriden the watir of the elde sisterne; and ye biholden not to hym, that made `thilke Jerusalem, and ye sien not the worchere therof afer. [11]Ye madeH6213[H8804] also a ditchH4724 between the two wallsH2346 for the waterH4325 of the oldH3465 poolH1295: but ye have not lookedH5027[H8689] unto the makerH6213[H8802] thereof, neither had respectH7200[H8804] unto him that fashionedH3335[H8802] it long agoH7350.
[12]And the Lord God of oostis schal clepe in that dai to wepyng, and to morenyng, and to ballidnesse, and to a girdil of sak; and lo! [12]And in that dayH3117 did the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 callH7121[H8799] to weepingH1065, and to mourningH4553, and to baldnessH7144, and to girdingH2296[H8800] with sackclothH8242:
[13]ioie and gladnesse is to sle caluys, and to strangle wetheris, to ete fleisch, and to drynke wyn; ete we, and drynke we, for we schulen die to morewe. [13]And behold joyH8342 and gladnessH8057, slayingH2026[H8800] oxenH1241, and killingH7819[H8800] sheepH6629, eatingH398[H8800] fleshH1320, and drinkingH8354[H8800] wineH3196: let us eatH398[H8800] and drinkH8354[H8800]; for to morrowH4279 we shall dieH4191.[H8799]
[14]And the vois of the Lord of oostis is schewid in myn eeris, This wickidnesse schal not be foryouun to you, til ye dien, seith the Lord God of oostis. [14]And it was revealedH1540[H8738] in mine earsH241 by the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Surely this iniquityH5771 shall not be purgedH3722[H8792] from you till ye dieH4191[H8799], saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635.
[15]The Lord God of oostis seith these thingis, Go thou, and entre to hym that dwellith in the tabernacle, to Sobna, the souereyn of the temple; and thou schalt seie to hym, [15]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635, GoH3212[H8798], getH935[H8798] thee unto this treasurerH5532[H8802], even unto ShebnaH7644, which is over the house, and sayH1004,
[16]What thou here, ethir as who here? for thou hast hewe to thee a sepulcre here, thou hast hewe a memorial in hiy place diligentli, a tabernacle in a stoon to thee. [16]What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee outH2672[H8804] a sepulchreH6913 hereH6311, as he that heweth him outH2672[H8802] a sepulchreH6913 on highH4791, and that gravethH2710[H8802] an habitationH4908 for himself in a rockH5553?
[17]Lo! the Lord schal make thee to be borun out, as a kapoun is borun out, and as a cloth, so he shal reise thee. [17]Behold, the LORDH3068 will carry thee awayH2904[H8772] with a mightyH1397 captivityH2925, and will surelyH5844[H8800] coverH5844 theeH8802.
[18]He crowninge schal crowne thee with tribulacioun; he schal sende thee as a bal in to a large lond and wijd; there thou schalt die, and there schal be the chare of thi glorie, and the schenschipe of the hous of thi Lord. [18]He will surelyH6801[H8800] violently turnH6801[H8799] and tossH6802 thee like a ballH1754 into a largeH7342[H3027] countryH776: there shalt thou dieH4191[H8799], and there the chariotsH4818 of thy gloryH3519 shall be the shameH7036 of thy lord'sH113 houseH1004.
[19]And Y schal caste thee out of thi stondyng, and Y schal putte thee doun of thi seruyce. [19]And I will driveH1920[H8804] thee from thy stationH4673, and from thy stateH4612 shall he pull thee downH2040.[H8799]
[20]And it schal be, in that dai Y schal clepe my seruaunt Eliachim, the sone of Helchie; and Y schal clothe hym in thi coote, [20]And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that I will callH7121[H8804] my servantH5650 EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518:
[21]and Y schal coumforte hym with thi girdil, and Y shal yyue thi power in to the hondis of hym; and he schal be as a fadir to hem that dwellen in Jerusalem, and to the hous of Juda. [21]And I will clotheH3847[H8689] him with thy robeH3801, and strengthenH2388[H8762] him with thy girdleH73, and I will commitH5414[H8799] thy governmentH4475 into his handH3027: and he shall be a fatherH1 to the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of JerusalemH3389, and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063.
[22]And Y schal yyue the keie of the hous of Dauyd on his schuldre; and he schal opene, and noon schal be that schal schitte; and he schal schitte, and noon schal be that schal opene. [22]And the keyH4668 of the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 will I layH5414[H8804] upon his shoulderH7926; so he shall openH6605[H8804], and none shall shutH5462[H8802]; and he shall shutH5462[H8804], and none shall openH6605.[H8802]
[23]And Y schal sette hym a stake in a feithful place, and he schal be in to the seete of glorie of the hous of his fadir. [23]And I will fastenH8628[H8804] him as a nailH3489 in a sureH539[H8737] placeH4725; and he shall be for a gloriousH3519 throneH3678 to his father'sH1 houseH1004.
[24]And thou schalt hange on hym al the glorie of the hous of his fadir, diuerse kindis of vessels, eche litil vessel, fro the vesselis of cuppis `til to ech vessel of musikis. [24]And they shall hangH8518[H8804] upon him all the gloryH3519 of his father'sH1 houseH1004, the offspringH6631 and the issueH6849, all vesselsH3627 of smallH6996 quantity, from the vesselsH3627 of cupsH101, even to all the vesselsH3627 of flagonsH5035.
[25]In that dai, seith the Lord of oostis, the stake that was set in the feithful place, schal be takun awei, and it schal be brokun, and schal falle doun; and schal perische that hangide therynne, for the Lord spak. [25]In that dayH3117, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, shall the nailH3489 that is fastenedH8628[H8803] in the sureH539[H8737] placeH4725 be removedH4185[H8799], and be cut downH1438[H8738], and fallH5307[H8804]; and the burdenH4853 that was upon it shall be cut offH3772[H8738]: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 itH8765.
