Isaiah 22:16-21 Modern English Version (MEV)

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.
