Isaiah 22:15-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁵ This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Now go and speak to Shebna, the officer with authority in the king's palace.^{[a] 16} Say to him, “You should not be here in the palace. You have cut a grave in the rock here for yourself, but you do not have the authority to do that! You have made a beautiful grave high up on the hill, as if you belong with the kings.

¹⁷ But look! The Lord will catch you and he will throw you out! You are just a man. He will take hold of you with all his strength.
