The verse 21 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.
