Isaiah 22:15-18

Easy-to-Read Version

God’s Message to Shebna

¹⁵ The Lord God All-Powerful told me to go to Shebna, the palace manager, ¹⁶ and say this: “What are you doing here? None of your relatives are buried here, are they? Then what right do you have to prepare a tomb for yourself in this high place? Why are you cutting a tomb out of this rock?

^17-18 “What a big man you are! But the Lord will crush you. He will roll you into a small ball and throw you far away into the open arms of another country, and there you will die.

“You are very proud of your chariots. But in that faraway land, your new ruler will have better chariots. And your chariots will not look important in his palace.
