Context of Isaiah 22:15
13and behold joy and rejoicing, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: — Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die. 14And it was revealed in mine ears by Jehovah of hosts: Assuredly this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.

Commentaries on Isaiah 22:15
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 15Go - unto Shebna - The following prophecy concerning Shebna seems to have very little relation to the foregoing, except that it might have been delivered about the same time; and Shebna might be a principal person among those whose luxury and profaneness is severely reprehended by the prophet in the conclusion of that prophecy, Isaiah 22:11-14. Shebna the scribe, mentioned in the history of Hezekiah, chap. 36, seems to have been a different person from…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 15Analysis of Isaiah 22:15-25. - Vision 20. The remainder of this chapter Isaiah 22:15-25 is occupied with a prediction respecting Shebna, and the promotion of Eliakim in his place.

That he was an unprincipled ruler is evident from the prophecy, and hence, Isaiah was directed to predict his fall, and the…Read the comment
- 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! What will it avail, whether we are laid in a magnificent tomb, or covered with the green sod? Those who, when in power, turn and toss others, will be justly turned and tossed themselves. Eliakim should be put into Shebna's place. Those called to places of trust and power, should seek to God for grace to…Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1515. Go, get thee unto--rather, "Go in to" (that is, into the house to). treasurer--"him who dwells in the tabernacle" [Jerome]; namely, in a room of the temple set apart for the treasurer. Rather, "the king's friend," or "principal officer of the court" (1Ki 4:5; 18:3; 1Ch 27:33, "the king's counsellor") [Maurer]. "This" is prefixed contemptuously (Ex 32:1). unto Shebna--The Hebrew for "unto" indicates an accosting of Shebna with an unwelcome message.Read the comment
