And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.

The verse 23 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 will ihn zum Nagel stecken an einen festen Ort, und er soll haben den Stuhl der Ehre in seines Vaters Hause,
E hincarelo como clavo en lugar firme; y será por asiento de honra a la casa de su padre.
Lo fijaré como una clavija en lugar firme, y será un trono de honra para la casa de su padre.
Je l'enfoncerai comme un clou dans un lieu sûr, Et il sera un siège de gloire pour la maison de son père.
E lo ficcherò, come un chiodo, in un luogo fermo; ed egli sarà per trono di gloria alla casa di suo padre.
E fixá-lo-ei como a um prego num lugar firme, e será como um trono de honra para a casa de seu pai.
我要使他立穩,像釘子釘在堅固的地方;他必成為他父家榮耀的寶座。
