15. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah of hosts, Go, go into this treasurer,
to Shebna who (is) over the house. 16. What hast thou here, and whom
hast thou here, that thou hast hewn thee here a sepulchre? Hewing on
high his sepulchre, graving in the rook a habitation for himself!
17. Behold, Jehovah is casting thee a cast, O man! and covering thee
a covering. 18. Rolling He will roll thee in a roll, like a ball
(thrown) into a spacious ground--there thou shalt die--and there the
chariots of thy glory--shame of thy master's house. 19. And I will
thrust thee from thy post, and from thy station thou shalt be pulled
down.
20. And it shall come to pass in that day that I will call for thy
servant, for Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah; 21. and I will clothe him
with thy dress, and with thy girdle will I strengthen him, and thy
power will I give into his hand, and he shall be for a father to the
dweller in Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. 22. And I will put
the key of the house of David on his shoulder; he shall open, and
there shall be no one shutting; he shall shut, and there shall be no
one opening. 23. And I will fasten him a nail in a sure place, and he
shall be for a throne of glory to his father's house. 24. And they
shall hang upon him all the honour of his father's house--the
offspring and the issue--all vessels of small quantity--from vessels
of cups even to all vessels of flagons. 25. In that day, saith
Jehovah of hosts, shall the nail fastened in a sure place be removed,
and be cut down, and fall, and the burden which was upon it shall be
cut off, for Jehovah speaks.
