hast
thou
here, that

here ,
as
he
that
heweth
him
out
a
sepulchre
on
high,
and that
graveth
an
habitation
for
himself
in a
rock?
What are
you
doing
here, and
who
authorized
you
to
carve
out a tomb
for
yourself
here —to
chisel
your
tomb
in
the
height
and cut
your
resting
place
in the
rock?
Behold
, the LORD will carry
thee
away
with
a
mighty
captivity
, and
will
surely
cover
thee.

mighty
man!
The LORD is
about
to
shake
you
violently.

will take
hold
of
you
,

will
surely
violently
turn
and
toss
thee
like
a ball into a large
country:
there shalt
thou
die, and there the
chariots of
thy
glory
shall
be
the shame
of
thy
lord's
house.

chariots will
remain—a

master

station

I will clothe him with thy
robe ,

of Jerusalem ,

the key of
the house of David will

shut, and none
shall
open.

will

a glorious
throne to
his
father's
house.

hang upon
him all
the glory
of his father's
house ,
the offspring
and the issue,
all vessels
of
small
quantity,
from
the vessels of
cups
, even
to all
the
vessels
of flagons
.
So
they will
hang on
him the whole
burden
of his father’s
house :
the descendants
and the offshoots—
all the lesser
vessels, from
bowls
to every
kind
of jar
.
In that day, saith
the LORD of hosts, shall
the nail
that
is
fastened
in
the
sure
place be
removed,
and
be cut
down,
and fall ;
and the burden
that
was
upon it shall
be cut off:
for
the LORD hath
spoken it
.
In that day, declares
the LORD of Hosts, the peg
driven
into
a
firm
place will
give
way;
it
will
be sheared
off
and fall ,
and the load
upon it will
be cut down.”
Indeed,
the LORD has
spoken.
