Isaiah 22:19-23

Good News Translation

¹⁹ The Lord will remove you from office and bring you down from your high position.”

²⁰ The Lord said to Shebna, “When that happens, I will send for my servant Eliakim son of Hilkiah. ²¹ I will put your official robe and belt on him and give him all the authority you have had. He will be like a father to the people of Jerusalem and Judah. ^22 (A)I will give him complete authority under the king, the descendant of David. He will have the keys of office; what he opens, no one will shut, and what he shuts, no one will open. ²³ I will fasten him firmly in place like a peg, and he will be a source of honor to his whole family.
