New Testament

Isaiah 22:19-24 New Century Version (NCV)

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.
