14. This was revealed in my ears by the Lord of the hosts, That surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you until ye die, saith the Lord GOD of the hosts.
15. Thus saith the Lord GOD of the hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say,
16. What hast thou here? or whom hast thou here that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here as he that hews himself out a sepulchre on a high place or that graves a habitation for himself in a rock?
17. Behold, the Lord will carry thee away in a hard captivity and will surely cover thy face.
18. He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country, there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall come to an end, the shame of the house of thy Lord.
19. And I will drive thee from thy place, and he shall pull thee down from thy state.
20. And it shall come to pass in that day that I will call my slave Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:
21. And I will clothe him with thy robe and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand, and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
22. And the key of the house of David I will lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and no one shall shut; and he shall shut, and no one shall open.
23. And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place, and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.
24. And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the sons and the grandsons, all the vessels of small quantity, from the cups to drink from even unto all the instruments of music.
25. In that day, saith the Lord of the hosts, the nail that is fastened in the sure place shall be removed and be cut down and fall and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the Lord has spoken it.
