Context of Isaiah 22:19

17Behold, Jehovah will hurl thee with the force of a mighty man, and will cover thee entirely. 18Rolling thee up completely, he will roll thee as a ball into a wide country: there shalt thou die, and there shall be the chariots of thy glory, O shame of thy lord's house! And I will drive thee from thine office, and from thy station will I pull thee down. 20And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkijah; 21and I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
