18. He will pick you up like a ball and throw you into a much larger country. You will die there beside the chariots you were so proud of. You are a disgrace to your master's household.
19. The Lord will remove you from office and bring you down from your high position.”
20. The Lord said to Shebna, “When that happens, I will send for my servant Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
21. I will put your official robe and belt on him and give him all the authority you have had. He will be like a father to the people of Jerusalem and Judah.
22. I will give him complete authority under the king, the descendant of David. He will have the keys of office; what he opens, no one will shut, and what he shuts, no one will open.
23. I will fasten him firmly in place like a peg, and he will be a source of honour to his whole family.
24. “But all his relatives and dependants will become a burden to him. They will hang on him like pots and bowls hanging from a peg!
