Isaiah 22A Warning of Destruction of Jerusalem

1

All of your people who were found were captured,

though they had fled far away.

4

and Kir uncovered the shield.

7 on the height and carving a habitation for yourself in the rock?

17The Lord is about to hurl you away violently, my fellow. He will seize firm hold on you,

18Job 18.18; Isa 17.13whirl you round and round, and throw you like a ball into a wide land; there you shall die, and there your splendid chariots shall lie, O you disgrace to your master’s house!

19I will thrust you from your office, and you will be pulled down from your post.

20 2 Kings 18.18; Isa 36.3 “On that day I will call my servant Eliakim son of Hilkiah

21and will clothe him with your robe and bind your sash on him. I will commit your authority to his hand, and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

22Job 12.14; Isa 7.2, 13; Rev 3.7I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David; he shall open, and no one shall shut; he shall shut, and no one shall open.

23Ezra 9.8; Job 36.7I will fasten him like a peg in a secure place, and he will become a throne of honor to his ancestral house.

24And they will hang on him the whole weight of his ancestral house, the offspring and issue, every small vessel, from the cups to all the flagons.

25v 23; Isa 46.11; Mic 4.4On that day, says the Lord of hosts, the peg that was fastened in a secure place will give way; it will be cut down and fall, and the load that was on it will perish, for the Lord has spoken.”
