Lectio Libri Isaiæ prophetæ (22,19-23)
Hæc dicit Dominus Sobnæ præposito templi: Expéllam te de statióne tua et de ministério tuo depónam te. Et erit in die illa: vocábo servum meum Eliáchim fílium Helcíæ et índuam illum túnicam tuam et cíngulo tuo cingam eum et potestátem tuam dabo in manu eíus; et erit in patrem habitántibus Ierusálem et dómui Iúdæ. Et dabo clavem domus David super úmerum eíus; et apériet, et non erit qui claudat; et claudet, et non erit qui apériat. Et figam illum paxíllum in loco secúro, et erit in sólium glóriæ dómui patris sui.
Thus says the Lord to Shebna, the steward of the palace: I will expel thee from thy standing, and depose thee from thy ministry. And it shall be in that day: I will call my servant Eliacim the son of Helcias, and will clothe him with thy coat, and will strengthen him with thy girdle, and will give thy power into his hand: and he shall be as a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, & to the house of Juda. And I will give the key of the house of David upon his shoulder: and he shall open, and there shall be none to shut: and he shall shut, and there shall be none to open. And I will fasten him as a pin in a sure place, and he shall be for a throne of glory to the house of his father.
