14. The Lord of Hosts revealed himself in my ears, “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die,” says the Lord, the Lord of Hosts.
15. Thus says the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, “Go, get yourself to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,
16. ‘What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?’ Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiselling a habitation for himself in the rock!”
17. Behold, the Lord will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.
18. He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you shame of your lord’s house.
19. I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.
