Isaiah 22:15-25

15Thus says my Lord Adonai-Tzva’ot: “Go, say to this steward, to Shebna, who is over the house:

16‘What are you doing here, and who are you to be here, that you cut out a grave for yourself, carving out a tomb on the height, chiseling a crypt for yourself in the rock?

17Behold, strong man, Adonai is about to hurl you headlong, and seize you firmly.

18He will roll you up tightly and toss you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and your glorious chariots will be the shame of your Master’s house.

19I will remove you from your post, and pull you down from your station.

20“In that day I will summon my servant Eliakim, son of Hilkiah.

21I will clothe him in your robe and fasten your sash on him. I will give your authority into his hands, so he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

22I will set the key of the house of David upon his shoulder—what he opens, no one can shut; what he shuts, and no one can open.

23I will fasten him as a peg in a firm place, and he will be a throne of honor to his father’s house.

24They will hang all the glory of his father’s house on him—offspring and posterity, all the small vessels, from bowls to all the jars.

25“In that day,” says Adonai-Tzva’ot, “the peg that was fastened in a firm place will give way, break away and fall, and the load that was on it will be cut off.” For Adonai has spoken.
