14. The Lord who commands armies told me this: “Certainly this sin will not be forgiven as long as you live,” says the sovereign master, the Lord who commands armies.
15. This is what the sovereign master, the Lord who commands armies, says:“Go visit this administrator, Shebna, who supervises the palace, and tell him:
16. ‘What right do you have to be here? What relatives do you have buried here?Why do you chisel out a tomb for yourself here?He chisels out his burial site in an elevated place,he carves out his tomb on a cliff.
17. Look, the Lord will throw you far away, you mere man!He will wrap you up tightly.
18. He will wind you up tightly into a balland throw you into a wide, open land.There you will die,and there with you will be your impressive chariots,which bring disgrace to the house of your master.
19. I will remove you from your office;you will be thrown down from your position.
