13 Yet, there is joy and gladness,slaying of oxen and killing of sheep,eating of meat and drinking wine:“Let us eat and drink,for tomorrow we may die.”
14 It was revealed in my hearing by the Lord of Hosts: Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you until you die, says the Lord God of Hosts.
15 Thus says the Lord God of Hosts: Come, go to this treasurer,even to Shebna, who is over the royal household, and say:
16 What right do you have here? And whom do you have herethat you have dug out for yourself a tomb here,as he who hews out for himself a tomb on high,and who cuts a habitation for himself in a rock?
17 Indeed, the Lord is about to hurl you headlong, O man;He is about to seize you firmly.
18 He will surely violently turnand toss you like a ball into a large country;there you shall die,and there the chariots of your glory shall bethe shame of your lord’s house.
19 I will drive you from your officeand pull you down from your station.
