Isaiah 22:16

Isaiah 22:16

14 ^aThen it was revealed in my hearing by the Lord of hosts,
“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

15 Thus says the Lord God of hosts:
“Go, proceed to this steward,
To ^aShebna, who is over the house, and say:

16 ‘What have you here, and whom have you here,
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?

17 Indeed, the Lord will throw you away violently,
O mighty man,
^aAnd will surely seize you.

18 He will surely turn violently and toss you like a ball
Into a large country;
There you shall die, and there ^ayour glorious chariots
Shall be the shame of your master’s house.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 22:15

Isaiah 22:17 >>

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.
