15 Thus says the Lord 1God of hosts,

“Come, go to this steward,

To aShebna, who is in charge of the royal household,

16 ‘What right do you have here,

And whom do you have here,

That you have ahewn a tomb for yourself here,

You who hew a tomb on the height,

You who carve a resting place for 1yourself in the rock?

17 ‘Behold, the Lord is about to hurl you headlong, O man.

And He is about to grasp you firmly

18 And roll you tightly like a ball,

To be acast 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 adepose you from your office,

And 1I will pull you down from your station.

20 “Then it will come about in that day,

That I will summon My servant aEliakim the son of Hilkiah,

21 And I will clothe him with your tunic

And tie your sash securely about him.

I will entrust him with your 1authority,

And he will become a afather to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

22 “Then I will set athe key of the bhouse of David on his shoulder,

When he opens no one will shut,

When he shuts no one will copen.
