Isaiah 22:20-25

20“At that time I will summon my servant Eliakim, son of Hilkiah.

21I will put your robe on him, tie your belt around him, and transfer your authority to him. He will become a protector of the residents of Jerusalem and of the people of Judah.

22I will place the key to the house of David on his shoulder. When he opens the door, no one can close it; when he closes the door, no one can open it.

23I will fasten him like a peg into a solid place; he will bring honor and respect to his father’s family.

24His father’s family will gain increasing prominence because of him, including the offspring and the offshoots. All the small containers, including the bowls and all the jars will hang from this peg.’

25“At that time,” says the Lord who commands armies, “the peg fastened into a solid place will come loose. It will be cut off and fall, and the load hanging on it will be cut off.” Indeed, the Lord has spoken.
