The Appointment of Eliakim

Isaiah 22:20-25

When that day comes, I will summon my servant Elyakim the son of Hilkiyahu.

I will dress him in your robe, gird him with your sash of office, and invest him with your authority. He will be a father to the people living in Yerushalayim and to the house of Y'hudah.

I will place the key of David's house on his shoulder; no one will shut what he opens; no one will open what he shuts.

"I will fasten him firmly in place like a peg, so that he will become a seat of honor for his clan.

They will hang on him all the weight of his clan, descendants and offspring, as well as all the vessels of small capacity, from pitchers to cups.

When that day comes, the peg fastened firmly in place will give way; it will be cut down and fall, and the weight that was on it will be cut off." For ADONAI has said it.
