New Testament

Isaiah 22:16-25 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

16. "What are you here, or who are you claiming to be here? For you have hewn a sepulcher for yourself here. You have diligently hewn a memorial in a rock, as a tabernacle to yourself.

17. Behold, the Lord will cause you to be carried away, like a domesticated rooster, and he will remove you, like an outer garment.

18. He will crown you with a crown of tribulation. He will toss you like a ball into a broad and spacious land. There you will die, and there the chariot of your glory will be, for it is a shame to the house of your Lord."

19. And I will expel you from your station, and I will depose you from your ministry.

20. And this shall be in that day: I will call my servant Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah.

21. And I will clothe him with your vestment, and I will strengthen him with your belt, and I will give your authority to his hand. And he shall be like a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

22. And I will place the key of the house of David upon his shoulder. And when he opens, no one will close. And when he closes, no one will open.

23. And I will fasten him like a peg in a trustworthy place. And he will be upon a throne of glory in the house of his father.

24. And they will suspend over him all the glory of his father's house: various kinds of vessels and every little article, from the vessels of bowls even to every instrument of music.

25. In that day, says the Lord of hosts, the peg which was fastened in a trustworthy place shall be taken away. And he will be broken, and he will fall, and he will perish, along with all that had depended upon him, because the Lord has spoken it.
