Isaiah 22:15-19
International Standard Version
The Lord Rebukes Shebna
15 This is what the Lord God of the Heavenly Armies[a] says:
“Come, go to this steward, to Shebna who is in charge of the household, and ask him: 16 ‘What are you doing here, and who are your relatives here[b] that you could carve out a grave for yourself here—cutting out a tomb at the choicest location,[c] chiseling out a resting place for yourself out of solid rock? 17 Look Out! The Lord is about to hurl you away violently, my strong fellow! He[d] will fold you up completely, 18 rolling you up tightly like a ball and throwing you into a large country. There[e] you will die, and there[f] your splendid chariots will lie. You’re a disgrace to your master’s house! 19 I will depose you from your office, ousting you[g] from your position.
