17 Behold, the Lord will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee.

18 He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house.

19 And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.

20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:

21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.

24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.

25 In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the Lord hath spoken it.

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 (A)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 (B)depose you from your office,
And [a]I will pull you down from your position.
20 Then it will come about on that day,
That I will summon My servant (C)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 [b]authority over to him,
And he will become a (D)father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
22 Then I will put (E)the key of the (F)house of David on his shoulder;
When he opens, no one will shut,
When he shuts, no one will (G)open.
23 I will drive him like a (H)peg in a firm place,
And he will become a (I)throne of glory to his father’s house.

24 So they will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the [c]descendants, all the least of vessels, from bowls to all the jars. 25 On that day,” declares the Lord of armies, “the (J)peg driven into a firm place will give way; it will even (K)break off and fall, and the load that is hanging on it will be cut off, for the (L)Lord has spoken.”
