“Surely for this iniquity there bwill be no atonement for you,
Even to your death,” says the Lord God of hosts.
The Judgment on Shebna
“Go, proceed to this steward,
To aShebna, who is over the house, and say:
That you have hewn a sepulcher here,
As he awho hews himself a sepulcher on high,
Who carves a tomb for himself in a rock?
Into a large country;
There you shall die, and there ayour glorious chariots
Shall be the shame of your master’s house.

Isaiah 22:16
What - What right hast thou to this place and office? Whom - What kindred or relations? For the Jews say, he was a stranger by birth; which is the more probable, because his pedigree is not mentioned in any of those places of scripture where he is named. On high - In an high and eminent place. An habitation - He erected a stately house to live in, and a stately sepulchre to receive him when he died. And these two are fitly joined together, because their sepulchres were commonly built in or near their houses. A rock - A fit place both for strength and state.
