Context of Isaiah 22:20
18And roll you up tightly like a ball And toss you into a vast country; There you will die And there your splendid chariots will be, You shame of your master’s house.’ 19I will depose you from your office, And you will be pulled down from your position [of importance]. Then it will come to pass in that day That I will summon My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah. 21And I will clothe him with your tunic [of distinction] And tie your sash securely around him. I will entrust him with your authority; He will become a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. 22Then I will set on his shoulder the key of the house of David; When he opens no one will shut, When he shuts no one will open.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 15-25Verses 15-25 This message to Shebna is a reproof of his pride, vanity, and security; what vanity is all earthly grandeur, which death will so soon end!
