Isaiah 22:15–25

¹⁵Thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto ^kShebna, ^lwhich is over the house, and say,

¹⁶What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here,

^mThat thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here,

As he ⁿthat heweth him out a sepulchre on high,

And that graveth a habitation for himself in a rock?

¹⁷Behold, the Lord will carry thee away with a mighty captivity,

^oAnd will surely cover thee.

¹⁸He will surely ^pviolently turn and toss thee like ^qa 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.

¹⁹And I will drive thee from thy station,

And from thy ^rstate shall he ^rrpull thee down.

²⁰And it shall come to pass in that day,

That I will call my servant ^klEliakim the son of Hilkiah:

²¹And ^sI will clothe him with thy robe,

And strengthen him with thy girdle,

And ^sI will commit thy government into his hand:

And he shall be ^ta father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,

And to the house of Judah.

²²And ^uthe key of the house of David will I lay ^vupon his shoulder;

So ^whe shall open, and none shall shut;

And ^whe shall shut, and none shall open.

²³And I will fasten him as ^xa nail in a sure place;

And he shall be ^yfor a glorious throne to his father’s house.

²⁴And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house,

^zThe offspring and the issue,

All vessels of small quantity,

From the vessels of ^acups, even to all the vessels of ^bflagons.

²⁵In that day, saith the Lord of hosts,

Shall ^cthe nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed,

And be ^dcut down, and fall;

And the ^eburden that was upon it shall be cut off:

^fFor the Lord hath spoken it.
