14. The Lord All-Powerful said to me: “You people will die before this guilt is forgiven.” The Lord God All-Powerful said this.
15. This is what the Lord God All-Powerful says:“Go to this servant Shebna,the manager of the palace.
16. Say to him, ‘What are you doing here?Who said you could cut out a tomb for your self here?Why are you preparing your tomb in a high place?Why are you carving out a tomb from the rock?
17. Look, mighty one! The Lord will throw you away.He will take firm hold of you
18. and roll you tightly into a balland throw you into another country.There you will die,and there your fine chariots will remain.You are a disgrace to your master’s house.
19. I will force you out of your important job,and you will be thrown down from your important place.’
20. “At that time I will call for my servant Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
21. I will take your robe and put it on him and give him your belt. I will hand over to him the important job you have, and he will be like a father to the people of Jerusalem and the family of Judah.
22. I will put the key to the house of David around his neck. If he opens a door, no one will be able to close it; if he closes a door, no one will be able to open it.
23. He will be like an honored chair in his father’s house. I will make him strong like a peg that is hammered into a strong board.
24. All the honored and important things of his family will depend on him; all the adults and little children will depend on him. They will be like bowls and jars hanging on him.
