17 Beholde O thou man, the Lorde shal cary thee away into captiuitie, and shall surely couer thee with confusion.

18 The Lorde shal turne thee ouer like a ball with his handes and shall sende thee into a farre countrey: there shalt thou dye, and there in steade of the charrets of thy pompe, shall the house of thy Lorde haue confusion.

19 I wyll driue thee from thy place, and out of thy dwellyng shal he ouerthrowe thee.

20 And in that day shall I call my seruaunt Eliakim the sonne of Helkia:

21 And with thy garmentes wyll I clothe hym, and with thy girdle wyll I strength hym: thy power also wyll I commit into his hande, and he shalbe a father of such as dwell in Hierusalem, and in the house of Iuda.

22 And the key of the house of Dauid wyll I lay vpon his shoulder: so that he shall open and no man shut, he shall shut and no man open.

23 And I wyll fasten hym as a nayle in a sure place, and he shalbe the glorious seate of his fathers house.

24 Moreouer, all generations and posterities shall hang vpon him all the glorie of their fathers house, all vessels both great and small, and all instrumentes of measure and musicke.

25 In that day saith the Lord of hoastes, shall the nayle that is fastened in the sure place, depart and be broken, and fall: and the burthen that was vpon it shalbe pluckt away, for so the Lorde hath spoken.
