14 Mas o SENHOR dos exércitos se revelou a meus ouvidos, [dizendo] : Certamente esta maldade não vos será perdoada até que morrais, diz o Senhor DEUS dos exércitos.

15 Assim disse o Senhor DEUS dos exércitos: Vai, visita este mordomo, Sebna, que administra a casa [real] ,

16 [E dize-lhe] : O que é que tens aqui? Ou quem tu tens aqui, [que te dá direito] a cavares aqui tua sepultura, [como] quem cava em lugar alto sua sepultura, e talha na rocha morada para si?

17 Eis que o SENHOR te lançará fora, ó homem, e te agarrará!

18 Certamente ele te lançará rodando, como uma bola numa terra larga e espaçosa. Ali morrerás, e ali [estarão] tuas gloriosas carruagens, [para] desonra da casa do teu senhor.
