Isaiah 22:15-17
Amplified Bible
15
For the Lord God of hosts says this, “Go to this [contemptible] steward,
To [a]Shebna, who is in charge of the royal household [but is building himself a tomb worthy of a king, and say to him],
16
‘What business do you have here?
And whom do you have here,
That you have hewn out a tomb here for yourself,
You who hew a sepulcher on the height,
You who carve a resting place for yourself in the rock?
17
‘Listen carefully, the Lord is about to hurl you away violently, O man;
And He is about to grasp you firmly
