CAP. XXII.
1 The birthun of the valei of visioun.
What also is to thee, for and al thou
stiedist in to roouys,
2 thou ful of cry,
a citee of myche puple, a citee ful out
ioiynge? thi slayn men weren not slayn
bi swerd, nether thi deed men weren deed
in batel.
3 Alle thi princes fledden togidere,
and weren boundun harde; alle that weren
foundun, weren boundun togidere, thei
fledden fer.
4 Therfor Y seide, Go &yogh;e awei
fro me, Y schal wepe bittirli; nyle &yogh;e be
bisie to coumforte me on the distriyng of
the dou&yogh;ter of my puple.
5 For whi a dai
of sleyng, and of defoulyng, and of wepyngis,
is ordeined of the Lord God of
oostis, in the valei of visioun; and he
serchith the walle, and is worschipful on
the hil.
6 And Helam took an arowe caas,
and the chare of an horse man; and the
scheeld made nakid the wal.
7 And thi
chosun valeis, Jerusalem, schulen be ful
of cartis; and kny&yogh;tis schulen putte her
seetis in the &yogh;ate.
8 And the hilyng of
Juda schal be schewid; and thou schalt se
in that dai the place of armuris of the
hous of the forest;
9 and &yogh;e schulen se the
crasyngis of the citee of Dauid, for tho
ben multiplied. &YOGH;e gaderiden togidere the
watris of the lowere cisterne,
10 and &yogh;e noumbriden
the housis of Jerusalem, and &yogh;e distrieden
housis, to make strong the wal;
and &yogh;e maden a lake bitwixe twei wallis,
11
and &yogh;e restoriden the watir of the elde
sisterne; and &yogh;e biholden not to hym, that
made `thilke Jerusalem, and &yogh;e sien not
the worchere therof afer.
12 And the Lord
God of oostis schal clepe in that dai to
wepyng, and to morenyng, and to ballidnesse,
and to a girdil of sak; and lo!
13 ioie
and gladnesse is to sle caluys, and to
-- --
strangle wetheris, to ete fleisch, and to
drynke wyn; ete we, and drynke we, for
we schulen die to morewe.
14 And the vois
of the Lord of oostis is schewid in myn
eeris, This wickidnesse schal not be for&yogh;ouun
to &yogh;ou, til &yogh;e dien, seith the Lord
God of oostis.
15 The Lord God of oostis
seith these thingis, Go thou, and entre to
hym that dwellith in the tabernacle, to
Sobna, the souereyn of the temple; and
thou schalt seie to hym,
16 What thou here,
ethir as who here? for thou hast hewe to
thee a sepulcre here, thou hast hewe a
memorial in hi&yogh; place diligentli, a tabernacle
in a stoon to thee.
17 Lo! the Lord
schal make thee to be borun out, as a
kapoun is borun out, and as a cloth, so
he shal reise thee.
18 He crowninge schal
crowne thee with tribulacioun; he schal
sende thee as a bal in to a large lond and
wijd; there thou schalt die, and there schal
be the chare of thi glorie, and the schenschipe
of the hous of thi Lord.
19 And Y
schal caste thee out of thi stondyng, and
Y schal putte thee doun of thi seruyce.
20 And it schal be, in that dai Y schal clepe
my seruaunt Eliachim, the sone of Helchie;
and Y schal clothe hym in thi coote,
21
and Y schal coumforte hym with thi girdil,
and Y shal &yogh;yue thi power in to the
hondis of hym; and he schal be as a fadir
to hem that dwellen in Jerusalem, and to
the hous of Juda.
22 And Y schal &yogh;yue the
keie of the hous of Dauyd on his schuldre;
and he schal opene, and noon schal be that
schal schitte; and he schal schitte, and
noon schal be that schal opene.
23 And Y
schal sette hym a stake in a feithful place,
and he schal be in to the seete of glorie
of the hous of his fadir.
24 And thou schalt
hange on hym al the glorie of the hous of
his fadir, diuerse kindis of vessels, eche
litil vessel, fro the vesselis of cuppis `til to
ech vessel of musikis.
25 In that dai, seith
the Lord of oostis, the stake that was set
-- --
in the feithful place, schal be takun awei,
and it schal be brokun, and schal falle
doun; and schal perische that hangide
therynne, for the Lord spak.
