1 Isaiah saw a sad word for the valley city. He asked, “Why did you all go up on the roofs?” ️️⬆️ 2 The city was loud and happy, but many people died, not in a war. 3 The leaders ran away, but they were caught. Many were caught even far away. ♂️ 4 Isaiah said, “Do not look at me. I will cry hard for my people.” 5 God had a day of big trouble. Walls broke. People shouted to the hills. ⛰️ 6 Men from Elam and Kir came with war tools and horses. ⚔️ 7 The fields were full of war carts. Horse men stood by the gates. 8 God took away the safe cover of Judah. People looked for weapons in the big house of wood. ️ 9 They saw many cracks in the wall of the city of David. They got water from the low pool. ️ 10 They counted the houses in Jerusalem. They broke some houses to make the wall strong. ️➡️ 11 They made a pool for water by two walls. But they did not look to God. God knew this long ago. 12 God called you to cry and be sad and wear sad clothes. 13 But you had fun. You ate meat and drank. You said, “Let us eat and drink, we may die soon.” 14 Isaiah heard God say, “This bad thing will not be forgiven until you die.” ⚠️ 15 God said, “Go to Shebna. He is the boss of the house.” ♂️ 16 God said, “Why did you cut a big tomb in the rock for you here? Who are you here?” 17 God will grab you, strong man. God will throw you hard. ✋➡️ 18 God will spin you like a ball and throw you to a far big land. You will die there. You bring shame to your master’s house. ⚰️ 19 God said, “I will push you out of your job. You will lose your place.” ⬇️ 20 God will call his man, Eliakim, son of Hilkiah. 21 God will give him your robe and belt. God will make him leader. He will care for the people like a dad in Jerusalem and Judah. 22 God will put the big key of David’s house on him. He will open and no one will shut. He will shut and no one will open. 23 God will fix him like a strong peg. He will bring honor to his family. 24 Many in his family will lean on him. Big and small things will hang on this peg, like cups and jars. 25 One day the peg will fall. It will be cut down. All that hangs on it will drop. God said this. ⬇️
