Isaiah 22:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶ “What are you doing here? Who gave you permission to carve a tomb here?”

(Shebna was carving out a tomb for himself on a height, chiseling a resting place for himself in the cliff!)

¹⁷ Watch out! The Lord is going to hurl you away violently, you ordinary man.^[a] He is going to grab you tightly, ¹⁸ whirl you around and around,^[b] and throw you like a ball into the open countryside. There you will die, and your glorious chariots will be there, to the shame of your master’s house.
