Isaiah 22:15-25

This is what the Lord GOD All-Powerful says: “Go to this servant Shebna, the manager of the palace. Say to him, ‘What are you doing here? Who said you could cut out a tomb for your self here? Why are you preparing your tomb in a high place? Why are you carving out a tomb from the rock? Look, mighty one! The LORD will throw you away. He will take firm hold of you and roll you tightly into a ball and throw you into another country. There you will die, and there your fine chariots will remain. You are a disgrace to your master’s house. I will force you out of your important job, and you will be thrown down from your important place.’ “At that time I will call for my servant Eliakim son of Hilkiah. I will take your robe and put it on him and give him your belt. I will hand over to him the important job you have, and he will be like a father to the people of Jerusalem and the family of Judah. I will put the key to the house of David around his neck. If he opens a door, no one will be able to close it; if he closes a door, no one will be able to open it. He will be like an honored chair in his father’s house. I will make him strong like a peg that is hammered into a strong board. All the honored and important things of his family will depend on him; all the adults and little children will depend on him. They will be like bowls and jars hanging on him. “At that time,” says the LORD All-Powerful, “the peg hammered into the strong board will weaken. It will break and fall, and everything hanging on it will be destroyed.” The LORD says this.
