15 Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel des armées: Va vers ce courtisan, Vers Schebna, gouverneur du palais:

16 Qu’y a-t-il à toi ici, et qui as-tu ici, Que tu creuses ici un sépulcre? Il se creuse un sépulcre sur la hauteur, Il se taille une demeure dans le roc!

17 Voici, l’Éternel te lancera d’un jet vigoureux; Il t’enveloppera comme une pelote,

18 Il te fera rouler, rouler comme une balle, Sur une terre spacieuse; Là tu mourras, là seront tes chars magnifiques, O toi, l’opprobre de la maison de ton maître!

19 Je te chasserai de ton poste, L’Éternel t’arrachera de ta place.
