Amplified Bible

Isaiah 22:16-23 Amplified Bible (AMP)

16. What business have you here? And whom have you entombed here, that you have the right to hew out for yourself a tomb here? He hews out a sepulcher for himself on the height! He carves out a dwelling for himself in the rock!

17. Behold, the Lord will hurl you away violently, O you strong man; yes, He will take tight hold of you and He will surely cover you [with shame].

18. He will surely roll you up in a bundle [Shebna] and toss you like a ball into a large country; there you will die and there will be your splendid chariots, you disgrace to your master's house!

19. And I will thrust you from your office, and from your station will you be pulled down.

20. And in that day I will call My servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.

21. And I will clothe him with your robe and will bind your girdle on him and will commit your authority to his hand; 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 I will lay upon his shoulder; he shall open and no one shall shut, he shall shut and no one shall open.

23. And I will fasten him like a peg or nail in a firm place; and he will become a throne of honor and glory to his father's house.
