Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904
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 slaughtering sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: (Let us) eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die.

18 He will roll thee, rolling up into a roll, like a ball into a far country; there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be: thou shame of thy lord’s house.
19 And I will thrust thee from thy station, and from thine office shall he pull thee down.
20 And it shall be in that day, 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 give thy authority into his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
22 And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut, and he shall shut, and none shall open:
