14. The Lord All-Powerfulhas spoken to methis solemn promise:“I won't forgive them for this,not as long as they live.”
15. The Lord All-Powerful is sending you with this message for Shebna, the prime minister:
16. Shebna, what gives you the right to have a tomb carved out of rock in this burial place of royalty? None of your relatives are buried here.
17. You may be powerful, but the Lord is about to snatch you up and throw you away.
18. He will roll you into a ball and throw you into a wide open country, where you will die and your chariots will be destroyed. You're a disgrace to those you serve.
19. The Lord is going to take away your job!
20-21. He will give your official robes and your authority to his servant Eliakim son of Hilkiah.Eliakim will be like a father to the people of Jerusalem and to the royal family of Judah.
