Isaiah 22:15-25
New American Standard Bible
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.
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.
24 So they will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the [e]descendants, all the least of vessels, from bowls to all the jars. 25 On that day,” declares the Lord of armies, “the (L)peg driven into a firm place will give way; it will even (M)break off and fall, and the load that is hanging on it will be cut off, for the (N)Lord has spoken.”

An Oracle against Shebna
15 The Lord God of Hosts said: “Go to Shebna,(A) that steward who is in charge of the palace, and say to him: 16 What are you doing here? Who authorized you to carve out a tomb for yourself here, carving your tomb on the height and cutting a crypt for yourself out of rock?(B) 17 Look, you strong man! The Lord is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you, 18 wind you up into a ball, and sling you into a wide land.[a] There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will be—a disgrace to the house of your lord. 19 I will remove you from your office; you will be ousted from your position.
20 “On that day I will call for my servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.(C) 21 I will clothe him with your robe and tie your sash around him. I will put your authority into his hand, and he will be like a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the House of Judah.(D) 22 I will place the key(E) of the House of David on his shoulder; what he opens, no one can close; what he closes, no one can open.(F) 23 I will drive him, like a peg, into a firm place. He will be a throne of honor for his father’s house. 24 They will hang on him the whole burden of his father’s house: the descendants and the offshoots—all the small vessels, from bowls to every kind of jar. 25 On that day”—the declaration of the Lord of Hosts—“the peg that was driven into a firm place will give way, be cut off, and fall, and the load on it will be destroyed.” Indeed, the Lord has spoken.
