Isaiah 22:15-25
15ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 1GodH3068 of hostsH6635, “ComeH1980, goH935 to thisH2088 stewardH5532, To 2ShebnaH7644, whoH834 is in chargeH5921 of the royal householdH1004,16‘WhatH4100 right do you have hereH6311, And whomH4310 do you have hereH6311, That you have 3hewnH2672 a tombH6913 for yourself hereH6311, You who hewH2672 a tombH6913 on the heightH4791, You who carveH2710 a restingH4908 placeH4908 for 4yourself in the rockH5553?17BeholdH2009, the LordH3068 is about to hurlH2904 you headlongH2925, O manH1397. And He is about to graspH5844 you firmlyH584418And rollH6801 you tightlyH6801 like a ballH1754, To be 5cast into a vastH7342 countryH776; ThereH8033 you will dieH4191 And thereH8033 your splendidH3519 chariotsH4818 will be, You shameH7036 of your master’sH113 houseH1004.’19I will 6deposeH1920 you from your officeH4673, And 7I will pullH2040 you downH2040 from your stationH4612.20Then it will comeH1961 about in that dayH3117, That I will summonH7121 My servantH5650 8EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518,21And I will clotheH3847 him with your tunicH3801 And tieH2388 your sashH73 securelyH2388 about him. I will entrustH5414H3027 him with your 9authorityH4475, And he will becomeH1961 a 10fatherH1 to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063.22Then I will setH5414 11the keyH4668 of the 12houseH1004 of DavidH1732 on his shoulderH7926, When he opensH6605 noH369 oneH369 will shutH5462, When he shutsH5462 noH369 oneH369 will 13openH6605.23I will driveH8628 him like a 14pegH3489 in a firmH539 placeH4725, And he will becomeH1961 a 15throneH3678 of gloryH3519 to his father’sH1 houseH1004. 24So they will hangH8518 on him allH3605 the gloryH3519 of his father’sH1 houseH1004, offspringH6631 and 16issueH6849, allH3605 the leastH6996 of vesselsH3627, from bowlsH3627H101 to allH3605 the jarsH3627H5035. 25In that dayH3117,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “the 17pegH3489 drivenH8628 in a firmH539 placeH4725 will giveH4185 wayH4185; it will even 18breakH1438 offH1438 and fallH5307, and the loadH4853 hanging on it will be cutH3772 offH3772, for the 19LordH3068 has spokenH1696.”
