22 And the LORD shall smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it: and they shall return evento the
LORD, and he shall be intreated of them, and shall heal them.
23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come
into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.
24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, evena blessing in the
midst of the land:
25 Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed beEgypt my people, and Assyria the
work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
1 In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and
fought against Ashdod, and took it;
2 At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the
sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked
and barefoot.
3 And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for
a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;
4 So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives,
young and old, naked and barefoot, even with theirbuttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
5 And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.
6 And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such isour expectation, whither
we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?
1 The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; soit cometh
from the desert, from a terrible land.
2 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the
spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.
3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a
woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of
it.
4 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear
unto me.
5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, andanoint the
shield.
6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.
7 And he saw a chariot witha couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, anda chariot of camels;
and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
8 And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I
am set in my ward whole nights:
9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, witha couple of horsemen. And he answered and
said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the
ground.
10 O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the
God of Israel, have I declared unto you.
11 The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman,
what of the night?
12 The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye:
return, come.
13 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of
Dedanim.
14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented
with their bread him that fled.

15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the
grievousness of war.
16 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and
all the glory of Kedar shall fail:
17 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be
diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it.
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 arenot 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, whichhave 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 isa 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 andhorsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.
7 And it shall come to pass, thatthy 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, evenunto Shebna, which
isover the house, and say,
16 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre
here, ashe that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, andthat 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 likea ball into a large country: there shalt thou
die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall bethe 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 asa 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 wasupon it shall be cut off: for the
LORD hath spoken it.
1 The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house,
no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them.
2 Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea,
have replenished.
3 And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, isher revenue; and she is a
mart of nations.
4 Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, eventhe strength of the sea, saying, I
travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, norbring up virgins.
5 As at the report concerning Egypt, soshall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.
6 Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle.
7 Isthis your joyous city, whose antiquity isof ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar
off to sojourn.
8 Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants areprinces,
whose traffickers arethe honourable of the earth?
9 The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, andto bring into contempt
all the honourable of the earth.
10 Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there isno more strength.
11 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a
commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong holds thereof.
12 And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise,
pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have no rest.
13 Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, tillthe Assyrian founded it for them
that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof;
andhe brought it to ruin.
14 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.
15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according
to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.
16 Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody,
sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
17 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and
she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon
the face of the earth.
18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor
laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently,
and for durable clothing.
1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down,
and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his
master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with
the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.
4 The earth mourneth andfadeth away, the world languisheth andfadeth away, the haughty
people of the earth do languish.
