15. This is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, says:‘Go, say to this steward,to Shebna the palace administrator:
16. what are you doing here and who gave you permissionto cut out a grave for yourself here,hewing your grave on the heightand chiselling your resting place in the rock?
17. ‘Beware, the Lord is about to take firm hold of youand hurl you away, you mighty man.
18. He will roll you up tightly like a balland throw you into a large country.There you will dieand there the chariots you were so proud ofwill become a disgrace to your master’s house.
19. I will depose you from your office,and you will be ousted from your position.
