Isaiah 22:15-25

15This is what the Lord 1God of armies says: “Come, go to this steward, To 2Shebna who is in charge of the royal household,16‘What right do you have here, And whom do you have here, That you have 3cut out a tomb for yourself here, You who cut out a tomb on the height, You who carve a resting place for 4yourself in the rock?17Behold, the Lord is about to hurl you violently, you strong man. And He is about to grasp you firmly18And wrap you up tightly like a ball, To be 5driven into a vast country; There you will die, And there your splendid chariots will be, You shame of your master’s house!’19I will 6depose you from your office, And 7I will pull you down from your position.20Then it will come about on that day, That I will summon My servant 8Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,21And I will clothe him with your tunic And tie your sash securely around him. I will hand your 9authority over to him, And he will become a 10father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.22Then I will put 11the key of the 12house of David on his shoulder; When he opens, no one will shut, When he shuts, no one will 13open.23I will drive him like a 14peg in a firm place, And he will become a 15throne of glory to his father’s house. 24So they will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the 16descendants, all the least of vessels, from bowls to all the jars. 25On that day,” declares the Lord of armies, “the 17peg driven into a firm place will give way; it will even 18break off and fall, and the load that is hanging on it will be cut off, for the 19Lord has spoken.”
