15. Thus says the Lord God of hosts:“Go, proceed to this steward,To Shebna, 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 who 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,And will surely seize you.
18. He will surely turn violently and toss you like a ballInto a large country;There you shall die, and there your glorious chariotsShall be the shame of your master’s house.
19. So I will drive you out of your office,And from your position he will pull you down.
20. ‘Then it shall be in that day,That I will call My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah;
21. I will clothe him with your robeAnd strengthen him with your belt;I will commit your responsibility into his hand.He shall be a father to the inhabitants of JerusalemAnd to the house of Judah.
22. The key of the house of DavidI will lay on his shoulder;So he shall open, and no one shall shut;And he shall shut, and no one shall open.
