¹⁴Meet the thirsty, bring water, inhabitants of the land of the south. Meet those who are fleeing with your bread,
¹⁵for they have fled from the swords, from the drawn sword and from the bent bow and from the grievousness of war.
¹⁶For thus has master said to me: Within a year, according to the years of an employee, all the glory of Kedar will fail;
¹⁷and the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the sons of Kedar, will be diminished; for Yahvah, god of Israel, has spoken it.

13 Isaiah 22:1-3
¹The prophecy concerning the valley of vision. What do you see here, that you are all gone up to the housetops?
²The city is full of tumult, the mighty city is full of noise; your slain men are not slain with the sword nor dead in battle.
³All your princes are fled together, they are surrounded by the archers; all that were found in you are bound together; they have fled to far off places.

13 Isaiah 22:8-11
⁸And the defenses of Judah will be laid bare, and you will see on that day the armour of the house of the forest.
⁹You have also seen the breaches of the city of David, that they are many; and you have gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
¹⁰And you have supplied the houses of Jerusalem with water, and you have broken down the houses to fortify the walls.
¹¹And you made ditches between the 2 walls for the water of the old pool; but you have not looked to its maker, nor had respect for him who fashioned it long ago.

13 Isaiah 22:12-14
¹²And in that day Yahvah, master of hosts, called to weeping and to mourning and to baldness and to girding with sackcloth;
¹³and look joy and gladness, slaughtering oxen and killing sheep, eating meat and drinking wine; let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die.
¹⁴And it was revealed in my ears by Yahvah of hosts saying, Surely this iniquity will not be purged from you until you die says Yahvah, master of hosts.

13 Isaiah 22:15-19
¹⁵Yahvah, master of hosts says: Go, get to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say to him,
¹⁶What do you do here? And what have you here, that you have hewn a tomb for yourself, as he who hews for himself a tomb on high and carves a habitation for himself in a rock?
¹⁷Look, man, Yahvah will surely cast you away, and will surely forsake you.
¹⁸And he will afflict you like the affliction of a company of soldiers besieged in a fortress from which there is no escape; there you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be the shame of your master's house.
¹⁹And I will take away your glory, and will cast you down from your position.

²⁰And it will come to pass in that day, says Yahvah, I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah;
²¹and I will clothe him with your robe and will gird him with your belt, and I will commit your government into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
²²And I will place on his shoulder the keys of the house of David; so he will open and no one will shut, and he will shut and no one will open.
²³And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he will be for a glorious throne to his father's house.
²⁴And they will hang on him all the glory of his father's house, both the honorable men and the glorious men, and all small vessels, from instruments of music to the harp.
²⁵In that day, says Yahvah of hosts, the nail that is fastened in a sure place will be removed and be overthrown and fall; and the burden that was on it will be destroyed; for Yahvah has spoken it.
