Isaiah:22:15-25
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Thus says the Lord GOD of hosts , "
Come ,
go to this steward ,
to Shebna ,
who is over the household ,
and say to him :
*
What have you to do here and whom have you here ,
that you have hewn here a tomb for yourself ,
you who hew a tomb on the height ,
and carve a habitation for yourself in the rock ?
*
Behold ,
the LORD will hurl you away violently ,
O you strong man .
He will seize firm hold on you ,
*
and whirl you round and round ,
and throw you like a ball into a wide land ;
there you shall die ,
and there shall be your splendid chariots ,
you shame of your master '
s house .
*
I will thrust you from your office ,
and you will be cast down from your station .
*
In that day I will call my servant Eli '
akim the son of Hilki '
ah ,
*
and I will clothe him with your robe ,
and will bind your girdle on him ,
and will commit your authority to his hand ;
and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah .
*
And I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David ;
he shall open ,
and none shall shut ;
and he shall shut ,
and none shall open .
*
And I will fasten him like a peg in a sure place ,
and he will become a throne of honor to his father '
s house .
*
And they will hang on him the whole weight of his father '
s house ,
the offspring and issue ,
every small vessel ,
from the cups to all the flagons .
*
In that day ,
says the LORD of hosts ,
the peg that was fastened in a sure place will give way ;
and it will be cut down and fall ,
and the burden that was upon it will be cut off ,
for the LORD has spoken ."
