Isaiah 22:15-25

Amplified Bible

¹⁵ 
For the Lord God of hosts says this, “Go to this [contemptible] steward,
To ^[a]Shebna, who is in charge of the royal household [but is building himself a tomb worthy of a king, and say to him],
¹⁶ 
‘What business do you have here?
And whom do you have here,
That you have hewn out a tomb here for yourself,
You who hew a sepulcher on the height,
You who carve a resting place for yourself in the rock?
¹⁷ 
‘Listen carefully, the Lord is about to hurl you away violently, O man;
And He is about to grasp you firmly
¹⁸ 
And roll you up tightly like a ball
And toss you 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 depose you from your office,
And you will be pulled down from your position [of importance].
²⁰ 
“Then it will come to pass in that day
That I will summon My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah.
²¹ 
“And I will clothe him with your tunic [of distinction]
And tie your sash securely around him.
I will entrust him with your authority;
He will become a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
²² 
“Then I will set on his shoulder the key of the house of David;
When he opens no one will shut,
When he shuts no one will open.
²³ 
“I will drive him like a peg in a firm place,
And he will become a throne of honor and glory to his father’s house.
