Isaiah 22:15-17

New International Reader's Version

“Go and speak to Shebna, the head servant.
    He is in charge of the palace. Tell him,
¹⁶ ‘What are you doing here outside the city?
    Who allowed you to cut out a tomb for yourself here?
Who said you could carve out your grave on the hillside?
    Who allowed you to cut out your resting place in the rock?

¹⁷ “ ‘Watch out, you mighty man!
    The Lord is about to grab you.
    He is about to throw you away.
