Isaiah 22:15–25

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

16  What 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 an habitation for himself in a rock?

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

oAnd will surely cover thee.

18  He 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.

19  And I will drive thee from thy station,

And from thy rstate shall he rrpull thee down.

20  And it shall come to pass in that day,

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

21  And 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.

22  And 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.

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

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

24  And 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.

25  In 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.
