Isaiah 22
1. The prophet laments the invasion of Jerusalem
8. He reproves their human wisdom and worldly joy
15. He prophesies Shebna's deprivation
20. And the substitution of Eliakim, prefiguring the kingdom of Christ.














(17) The Lord will carry thee away with a mighty captivity.--Better, will hurl thee with the hurling of a mighty man--i.e., strongly and effectually. The words have, however, been rendered (Cheyne), "will hurl, will hurl thee, O mighty man." The marginal rendering rests on no sufficient grounds.

Will surely cover thee.--Better, Will surely grasp thee, so that thou shalt not escape.

Verse 17. - The Lord win carry thee away with a mighty captivity; rather, the Lord will hurl thee away, O man, with a hurling; i.e. "will hurl thee away to a distance." It is not said that Shebna would be a captive. Will surely cover thee; literally, will cover thee with a covering; i.e. "will make thee obscure" (Rosenmüller) - a fitting punishment for one who aimed at attracting attention and making himself famous (ver. 16).
