Isaiah 22:15–23

The Judgment on Shebna

15 Thus says the Lord God of hosts:

“Go, proceed to this steward,

To rShebna, who is over the house, and say:

16 ‘What have you here, and whom have you here,

That you have hewn a sepulcher here,

As he swho hews himself a sepulcher on high,

Who carves a tomb for himself in a rock?

17 Indeed, the Lord will throw you away violently,

O mighty man,

tAnd will surely seize you.

18 He will surely turn violently and toss you like a ball

Into a large country;

There you shall die, and there uyour glorious chariots

Shall be the shame of your master’s house.

19 So I will drive you out of your office,

And from your position 5he will pull you down.

20 ‘Then it shall be in that day,

That I will call My servant vEliakim the son of Hilkiah;

21 I will clothe him with your robe

And strengthen him with your belt;

I will commit your responsibility into his hand.

He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem

And to the house of Judah.

22 The key of the house of David

I will lay on his wshoulder;

So he shall xopen, and no one shall shut;

And he shall shut, and no one shall open.

23 I will fasten him as ya peg in a secure place,

And he will become a glorious throne to his father’s house.
