And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.

The verse 19 is found in chapter 22 of Isaiah. Shebna is denounced for seeking a position of honor for himself, while Eliakim receives authority like a firmly fixed peg. The succession of leadership images shows that human offices are responsibilities received from God. Yet even an apparently firm peg can be removed, reminding us of the fragility of all human authority.

Und ich will dich von deinem Stande stürzen, und von deinem Amt will ich dich setzen.
Y arrojarte he de tu lugar, y de tu puesto te empujaré.
Te expulsaré de tu cargo, y de tu puesto te derribará.
Je te chasserai de ton poste, L'Eternel t'arrachera de ta place.
Ed io ti sospingerò giù dal tuo grado, e ti sovvertirò dal tuo stato.
E demitir-te-ei do teu posto, e te arrancarei do teu assento.
我要革除你的官職,你必從原位被逐 。』
