“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.
²³ I will drive him like a ^(J)peg in a firm place,
And he will become a ^(K)throne of glory to his father’s house.
