Thus says the Lord ^[q] God of hosts, "Come, go to this steward, To ^(x)Shebna, who is in charge of the royal household,

‘What right do you have here, And whom do you have here, That you have ^(y)hewn a tomb for yourself here, You who hew a tomb on the height, You who carve a resting place for ^[r]yourself in the rock?

‘Behold, the Lord is about to hurl you headlong, O man. And He is about to grasp you firmly

And roll you tightly like a ball, To be ^(z)cast into a vast country; There you will die And there your splendid chariots will be, You shame of your master's house.'

"I will ^(aa)depose you from your office, And ^[s]I will pull you down from your station.
