15 This is what the Lord [a]God of armies says:

“Come, go to this steward,
To (A)Shebna who is in charge of the royal household,
16 ‘What right do you have here,
And whom do you have here,
That you have (B)cut out a tomb for yourself here,
You who cut out a tomb on the height,
You who carve a resting place for [b]yourself in the rock?
17 Behold, the Lord is about to hurl you violently, you strong man.
And He is about to grasp you firmly
18 And wrap you up tightly like a ball,
To be (C)driven into a vast country;
There you will die,
And there your splendid chariots will be,
You shame of your master’s house!’
19 I will (D)depose you from your office,
And [c]I will pull you down from your position.
20 Then it will come about on that day,
That I will summon My servant (E)Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,
21 And I will clothe him with your tunic
And tie your sash securely around him.
I will hand your [d]authority over to him,
And he will become a (F)father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
22 Then I will put (G)the key of the (H)house of David on his shoulder;
When he opens, no one will shut,
When he shuts, no one will (I)open.

Come to Me

25 [a](A)At that time Jesus said, “I praise You, (B)Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that (C)You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and have revealed them to infants. 26 Yes, (D)Father, for this way was well pleasing in Your sight. 27 (E)All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father (F)except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son determines to reveal Him.

28 (G)Come to Me, all [b]who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and (H)learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and (I)you will find [c]rest for your souls. 30 For (J)My yoke is comfortable, and My burden is light.”
