Isaiah 22:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 22:17

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.

19 So I will drive you out of your office,
And from your position¹ he will pull you down.

20 ‘Then it shall be in that day,
That I will call My servant ^aEliakim the son of Hilkiah;

21 I will clothe him with your robe
And strengthen him with your belt;
I will commit your responsibility into his hand.
He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem
And to the house of Judah.
