15. This is what the sovereign master, the Lord who commands armies, says:“Go visit this administrator, Shebna, who supervises the palace, and tell him:
16. ‘What right do you have to be here? What relatives do you have buried here?Why do you chisel out a tomb for yourself here?He chisels out his burial site in an elevated place,he carves out his tomb on a cliff.
17. Look, the Lord will throw you far away, you mere man!He will wrap you up tightly.
18. He will wind you up tightly into a balland throw you into a wide, open land.There you will die,and there with you will be your impressive chariots,which bring disgrace to the house of your master.
19. I will remove you from your office;you will be thrown down from your position.
