14. It was revealed in my hearing by the Lord of Hosts: Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you until you die, says the Lord God of Hosts.
15. Thus says the Lord God of Hosts: Come, go to this treasurer,even to Shebna, who is over the royal household, and say:
16. What right do you have here? And whom do you have herethat you have dug out for yourself a tomb here,as he who hews out for himself a tomb on high,and who cuts a habitation for himself in a rock?
17. Indeed, the Lord is about to hurl you headlong, O man;He is about to seize you firmly.
18. He will surely violently turnand toss you like a ball into a large country;there you shall die,and there the chariots of your glory shall bethe shame of your lord’s house.
19. I will drive you from your officeand pull you down from your station.
20. In that day I will call My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah.
21. And I will clothe him with your robe and tie him securely with your sash. And I will entrust him with your authority, and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
22. The key of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder. Then he shall open, and no one shall shut. And he shall shut, and no one shall open.
23. I will fasten him as a nail in a firm place, and he shall become a glorious throne to his father’s house.
