13. Instead, you are enjoying yourselves at wild parties! You are killing cattle and sheep. You are eating their meat and drinking wine. You are saying, "Let's eat and drink, because tomorrow we'll die."
14. I heard the Lord who rules over all speaking. "Your sin can never be paid for as long as you people live," says the Lord.
15. The Lord who rules over all speaks. The Lord says, "Go. Speak to the head servant Shebna. He is in charge of the palace. Tell him,
16. 'What are you doing here outside the city? Who allowed you to cut out a tomb for yourself here? Who said you could carve out your grave on the hillside? Who allowed you to cut out your resting place in the rock?
17. " 'Watch out, you mighty man! The Lord is about to grab hold of you. He is about to throw you away.
18. He will roll you up tightly like a ball. He will throw you into a very large country. There you will die. And there the chariots you are so proud of will remain. You bring shame on your master's family!
19. The Lord will remove you from your job. You will be brought down from your high position.
20. " 'At that time he will send for his servant Eliakim. He is the son of Hilkiah.
21. The Lord will put your robe on Eliakim. He will tie your belt around him. He will hand your authority over to him. Eliakim will be like a father to the people of Jerusalem and Judah.
