15 The Lord God of heavenly forces says, Go now to this official, to Shebna, who is in charge of the house, and say to him:
16 What do you have here—and whom do you have here—that you have hewed out a tomb for yourself,you who cuts his grave on high and carves himself a home in the cliff?
17 The Lord is about to hurl you down, mighty man!He is surely going to cover you with darkness;
18 he will indeed unroll your head wrapping,rolling it like a ball into the open country.There you will die, with your glorious chariots,you disgrace to the house of your master!
19 I will thrust you from your monument;you will be pulled down from your platform.
20 On that day, I will call my servantEliakim, Hilkiah’s son.
21 I will give him your robe and wrap him in your sash,and I will hand over to him your authority.He will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalemand to the house of Judah.
