God's Word Translation

Isaiah 22:20-25 God's Word Translation (GW)

20. When that day comes, I will call my servant Eliakim, son of Hilkiah.

21. I will dress him in your linen robeand fasten it with your belt.I will give him your authority,and he will be like a father to those who live in Jerusalemand to the nation of Judah.

22. I will place the key of the house of David around his neck.What he opens no one will shut.What he shuts no one will open.

23. I will fasten him firmly in place like a peg,and he will be a source of honor for his father’s household.

24. They will hang on him the whole weight of his father’s household,descendants and offspring and all the little utensils,from bowls to jars of every kind.”

25. The Lord of Armies declares,“On that day the peg which I firmly fastened in place will be removed.It will be cut off and will fall,and everything hanging on it will be destroyed.”The Lord has spoken.
