1 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops? 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 rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, which have fled from far. 4 Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people. 5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains. 6 And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield. 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 he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to 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 gathered together the waters of the lower pool. 10 And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall. 11 Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago. 12 And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth: 13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die. 14 And it was revealed in mine 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 hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say, 16 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock? 17 Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee. 18 He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord’s house. 19 And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.

20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah: 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 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 will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house. 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 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.

1 关于"异象谷"的默示： 你们发生了什么事， 以致你们都上了房顶呢？

2 你这充满喧哗， 繁嚣、欢乐的城市啊！ 你们中间被杀的， 并不是被刀剑所杀， 也不是在战场上阵亡。

3 你们所有的官长都一起逃跑； 他们因没有弓箭而被俘掳， 你们中间所有被找到的都一起被俘掳， 虽然他们已逃到远方去。

4 因此我说： "要转开你们的眼， 不要望着我， 让我痛哭吧！ 不要因我人民的毁灭， 而急急安慰我。"

5 因为主万军之耶和华使"异象谷"有惊恐、践踏、混乱的日子： 城墙被拆毁， 哀声传到山上。

6 以拦拿着箭袋， 并有战车、步兵和骑兵； 吉珥亮出盾牌。

7 你佳美的山谷都布满战车， 又有骑兵在城门前列阵。

8 他挪去犹大的屏障了。到那日， 你就仰望"森林仓库"里的武器；

9 你们看见大卫的缺口很多， 就储存下池的水。

10 你们又数点耶路撒冷的房屋， 把房屋拆掉， 用来坚固城墙。

11 你们又在两道城墙之间造一个水池， 用来盛载旧池的水， 你们却不仰望作这事的主， 也不顾念远古以来计划这事的 神。

12 到那日， 主万军之耶和华叫人哭泣哀号， 剃光头发， 穿上麻布。

13 看哪！ 人还是欢喜快乐， 宰牛杀羊， 吃肉喝酒， 说： "我们吃喝吧！ 因为明天我们就要死了。"

14 万军之耶和华亲自启示我说： "直到你们死的时候， 这罪孽也不得赦免。"这是主万军之耶和华说的。

15 主万军之耶和华这样说： "你去见这掌管库房的， 就是总管舍伯那， 对他说：

16 你在这里有什么权利呢？你在这里有什么人， 竟在这里为你自己凿坟墓， 就是在高处为自己凿坟墓， 在磐石中为自己凿出安身之所呢？

17 看哪， 勇士啊！ 耶和华将要猛烈地拋掷你； 他必把你紧紧抓住，

18 把你卷了又卷， 卷成球状， 然后掷到宽阔之地； 你必死在那里， 你那华美的战车也在那里； 你成了你主人之家的耻辱。

19 我必革除你的官职， 从你的原位上把你拉下来。

20 到那日， 我必召希勒家的儿子， 就是我的仆人以利亚敬来，

21 我会把你的外袍给他穿， 把你的腰带给他系紧， 把你的权柄交在他的手中； 他要作耶路撒冷的居民和犹大家的父。

22 我必把大卫家的钥匙放在他肩头上； 他开了， 就没有人能关； 他关了， 就没有人能开。

23 我必坚立他， 像钉子钉在稳固的地方； 他必作父家荣耀的宝座。

24 他父家所有的荣耀， 他的儿女和子孙以及各样小器皿， 从碗子到瓶子， 都挂在他身上。

25 万军之耶和华说： ‘到那日， 那钉在稳固地方的钉子必垂下来， 被砍断坠落； 那挂在上面的担子必被砍掉， 因为这是耶和华说的。’"
