Context of Isaiah 22:19

17Behold, the Lord is about to hurl you headlong, O man. And He is about to grasp you firmly 18And roll you tightly like a ball, To be cast into a vast country; There you will die And there your splendid chariots will be, You shame of your master’s house.’ I will depose you from your office, And I will pull you down from your station. 20Then it will come about in that day, That I will summon My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, 21And I will clothe him with your tunic And tie your sash securely about him. I will entrust him with your authority, And he will become a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
