New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Isaiah 22
11 And you made a reservoir between the two walls For the waters of the old pool. But you did not depend on Him who made it, Nor did you take into consideration Him who planned it long ago.
12 Therefore in that day the Lord God of hosts called you to weeping, to wailing, To shaving the head and to wearing sackcloth.
13 Instead, there is gaiety and gladness, Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, Eating of meat and drinking of wine: "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die."
14 But the Lord of hosts revealed Himself to me, "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 steward, To Shebna, who is in charge of the royal household,
16 ’What right do you have here, And whom do you have here, That you have hewn a tomb for yourself here, You who hew a tomb on the height, You who carve a resting place for yourself in the rock?
17 ’Behold, the Lord is about to hurl you headlong, O man. And He is about to grasp you firmly
18 And roll you tightly like a ball, To be cast into a vast country; There you will die And there your splendid chariots will be, You shame of your master’s house.’
19 "I will depose you from your office, And I will pull you down from your station.
20 "Then it will come about in that day, That I will summon My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,
21 And I will clothe him with your tunic And tie your sash securely about him. I will entrust him with your authority, And he will become a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
