American Standard Version

Isaiah 22:17-25 American Standard Version (ASV)

17. Behold, Jehovah, like a strong man, will hurl thee away violently; yea, he will wrap thee up closely.

18. He will surely wind thee round and round, and toss thee like a ball into a large country; there shalt thou die, and there shall be the chariots of thy glory, thou shame of thy lord’s house.

19. And I will thrust thee from thine office; and from thy station shalt thou be pulled down.

20. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:

21. and I will cloth him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

22. And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

23. And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father’s house.

24. And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the flagons.

25. In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall the nail that was fastened in a sure place give way; and it shall be hewn down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off; for Jehovah hath spoken it.
