21 I will clothe him with your robe and tie your sash around him. I will put your authority into his hand, and he will be like a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the House of Judah.
22 I will place the key of the House of David on his shoulder; what he opens, no one can close; what he closes, no one can open.
23 I will drive him, like a peg, into a firm place. He will be a throne of honor for his father’s house.
24 They will hang on him the whole burden of his father’s house: the descendants and the offshoots — all the small vessels, from bowls to every kind of jar.
25 On that day” — the declaration of the Lord of Hosts — “the peg that was driven into a firm place will give way, be cut off, and fall, and the load on it will be destroyed.” Indeed, the Lord has spoken.
