Isaiah 22:17 Context
15¶ Thus sayth the Lord God of hostes, Goe, get thee vnto this treasurer, euen vnto Shebna, which is ouer the house, and say; 16What hast thou here? And whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as hee that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graueth an habitation for himselfe in a rocke? 17Behold; the Lord will cary thee away with a mightie captiuitie, and will surely couer thee. 18He will surely violently turne and tosse thee, like a ball into a large countrey: there shalt thou die, and there the charets of thy glory shall be the shame of thy Lords house. 19And I will driue thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee downe.
