Isaiah 22:17 in context

  1. 15The Lord, Yahweh of Armies says, “Go, get yourself to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,
  2. 16‘What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?’ Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock!”
  3. 17Behold, Yahweh will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.
  4. 18He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you shame of your lord’s house.
  5. 19I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.
