Isaiah 22:15-25

¹⁵Thus says the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts, Go, get you to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, [and say], ¹⁶"What do you here? and whom has you here, that you have hewed you out here a tomb? Cutting him out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock!" ¹⁷Behold, Yahweh, like a [strong] man, will hurl you away violently; yes, he will wrap you up closely. ¹⁸He will surely wind you round and round, [and toss you] like a ball into a large country; there shall you die, and there shall be the chariots of your glory, you shame of your lord`s house. <sup>19</sup>I will thrust you from your office; and from your station shall you be pulled down. <sup>20</sup>It shall happen in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah: <sup>21</sup>and I will cloth him with your robe, and strengthen him with your belt, and I will commit your government into his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. <sup>22</sup>The key of the house of David will I lay on his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. <sup>23</sup>I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father`s house. ²⁴They shall hang on him all the glory of his father`s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers. ²⁵In that day, says Yahweh of hosts, shall the nail that was fastened in a sure place give way; and it shall be hewn down, and fall; and the burden that was on it shall be cut off; for Yahweh has spoken it.
