关于耶路撒冷的预言
1以下是关于异象谷22:1 “异象谷”指耶路撒冷。的预言：
为什么你们全城的人都上到房顶呢？
2你们这座充满喧闹、骚动和欢乐的城啊，
你们中间被杀的人既非丧身刀下，
也非死于战场。
3你们的官长一起逃跑，
一箭未发便束手就缚，
逃到远方的也一同被擒。
4所以，我说：“你们不要管我，
让我痛哭一场吧！
不要安慰我，
我的同胞都被毁灭了。”
5主——万军之耶和华已经定了日子，
要使耶路撒冷饱受恐慌、
失败和混乱，
城墙被攻破，
哭喊声响彻山间。
6以拦人带着箭袋，
率领战车和骑兵前来，
吉珥人也亮出盾牌。
7你们佳美的山谷中布满战车，
骑兵在你们的城门前列阵。
8犹大毫无防卫之力。
那时，你们依靠藏在林宫里的兵器。 9你们看见大卫城破口累累，你们储存下池的水， 10数点耶路撒冷城的房屋，把房屋拆掉修补城墙。 11又在两道城墙之间建造新的蓄水池，用来盛旧池的水。耶和华从古时已定了这一切，要使这一切发生，但你们既不仰望祂，也不理会祂。
12那日，万军之耶和华呼召你们哭泣哀号，
剃光头发，身披麻衣。
13但你们还是欢喜作乐，
宰牛杀羊，喝酒吃肉，说：
“让我们吃喝吧！
因为明天我们就死了。”
14万军之耶和华启示我说：
“你们这罪到死也得不到赦免。
这是主——万军之耶和华说的。”
15主——万军之耶和华吩咐我去见宫廷总管舍伯那，对他说： 16“你在这里做什么？你凭什么在这里为自己挖坟墓，在高处为自己挖坟墓，在磐石上为自己凿安息之所？ 17看啊，你这有权有势的人，耶和华必紧紧抓住你，把你猛力抛开。 18祂必把你揉作一团，像球一样扔到宽阔之地。在那里，你必死亡，你华美的战车也必遭毁灭，你是你主人家的羞辱。” 19耶和华对舍伯那说：“我必解除你的官职，把你从高位上拉下来。
20“到那日，我必召来我的仆人——希勒迦的儿子以利亚敬， 21给他穿上你的朝服，系上你的腰带，把你的权柄交给他。他必像父亲一样保护耶路撒冷和犹大的人民。 22我必把大卫家的钥匙交给他。他开启的，没有人能关；他关闭的，没有人能开。 23我要使他像深嵌在坚固之处的橛子一样稳固，他必给他的家族带来尊荣。 24他所有的亲属都靠他得荣耀，如同杯子和酒瓶等小器皿挂在一个橛子上。”
25万军之耶和华说：“到那日，牢牢钉在坚固之处的钉子必松动，被砍落在地上，挂在上面的东西必被除掉。这是耶和华说的。”
A Prophecy Against Jerusalem
1Here is a prophecy against Jerusalem that the Lord gave me. Jerusalem is also known as the Valley of Vision.
People of Jerusalem, what’s the matter with you?
Why have all of you gone up on the roofs of your houses?
2Why is your town so full of noise?
Why is your city so full of the sound of wild parties?
Those among you who died weren’t killed by swords.
They didn’t die in battle.
3All your leaders have run away.
They’ve been captured without a single arrow being shot.
All you who were caught were taken away as prisoners.
You ran off while your enemies were still far away.
4So I said, “Leave me alone.
Let me weep bitter tears.
Don’t try to comfort me.
My people have been destroyed.”
5The Lord who rules over all sent the noise of battle against you.
The Lord brought disorder and terror
to the Valley of Vision.
The walls of the city were knocked down.
Cries for help were heard in the mountains.
6Soldiers from Elam came armed with bows and arrows.
They came with their chariots and horses.
Soldiers from Kir got their shields ready.
7Your rich valleys filled up with chariots.
Horsemen took up their battle positions at your city gates.
8The Lord made Judah a place where it wasn’t safe to live anymore.
At that time, you depended
on the weapons in the Palace of the Forest of Lebanon.
9You saw that the walls of the City of David
were broken through in many places.
You stored up water
in the Lower Pool.
10You picked out the weaker buildings in Jerusalem.
You tore them down and used their stones
to strengthen the city walls against attack.
11You built a pool between the two walls.
You used it to save the water
that was running down from the Old Pool.
But you didn’t look to the God who made it all possible.
You didn’t pay any attention to the God
who planned everything long ago.
12The Lord who rules over all
called out to you at that time.
The Lord told you to weep and cry.
He told you to tear your hair out.
And he told you to put on the rough clothing people wear when they’re sad.
13Instead, you are enjoying yourselves at wild parties!
You are killing cattle and sheep.
You are eating their meat and drinking wine.
You are saying, “Let’s eat and drink,
because tomorrow we’ll die.”
14I heard the Lord who rules over all speaking. “Your sin can never be paid for as long as you live,” says the Lord.
15The Lord who rules over all speaks. The Lord says,
“Go and speak to Shebna, the head servant.
He is in charge of the palace. Tell him,
16‘What are you doing here outside the city?
Who allowed you to cut out a tomb for yourself here?
Who said you could carve out your grave on the hillside?
Who allowed you to cut out your resting place in the rock?
17“ ‘Watch out, you mighty man!
The Lord is about to grab you.
He is about to throw you away.
18He will roll you up tightly like a ball.
He will throw you into a very large country.
There you will die.
And that’s where the chariots you were so proud of will be.
Those chariots will then bring nothing but shame on your master’s family!
19The Lord will remove you from your job.
You will be brought down from your high position.
20“ ‘At that time he will send for his servant Eliakim. He is the son of Hilkiah. 21The Lord will put your robe on Eliakim. He will tie your belt around him. He will hand your authority over to him. Eliakim will be like a father to the people of Jerusalem and Judah. 22The Lord will give Eliakim the key of authority in David’s royal house. No one can shut what he opens. And no one can open what he shuts. 23The Lord will set him firmly in place like a peg driven into a wall. He will hold a position of honor in his family. 24The good name of his whole family will depend on him. They will be like bowls and jars hanging on a peg.
25“ ‘But a new day is coming,’ ” announces the Lord who rules over all. “ ‘At that time the peg that was driven into the wall will give way. It will break off and fall down. And the heavy load hanging on it will also fall.’ ” The Lord has spoken.
