Isaiah 22:19-25 Common English Bible (CEB)

19. I will thrust you from your monument;you will be pulled down from your platform.

20. On that day, I will call my servantEliakim, Hilkiah’s son.

21. I will give him your robe and wrap him in your sash,and I will hand over to him your authority.He will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalemand to the house of Judah.

22. I will place the key to David’s house on his shoulder;what he opens no one will close,and what he closes no one will open.

23. I will fasten him securely like a tent peg,and he will be a throne of honor for his ancestors’ house.

24. All the honor of his household will hang on him, the offspring and the offshoots, every little dish, every bowl, every jar.

25. On that day, says the Lord of heavenly forces, the peg that is fastened securely will give way; it will be cut down, and it will fall, and all the load hanging on it will be lost. The Lord has spoken.
