In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it.

The verse 25 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.

Zu der Zeit, spricht der HERR Zebaoth, soll der Nagel weggenommen werden, der am festen Ort steckt, daß er zerbreche und falle und seine Last umkomme. Denn der HERR sagt's.
En aquel día, dice Jehová de los ejércitos, el clavo hincado en lugar firme será quitado, y será quebrado y caerá; y la carga que sobre él se puso, se echará a perder; porque Jehová habló.
«En aquel día —declara Jehová de los ejércitos— la clavija fijada en lugar firme cederá, será quebrada y caerá; la carga que cuelga de ella será destruida, porque Jehová ha hablado».
En ce jour, dit l'Eternel des armées, Le clou enfoncé dans un lieu sûr sera enlevé, Il sera abattu et tombera, Et le fardeau qui était sur lui sera détruit, Car l'Eternel a parlé.
In quel giorno, dice il Signor degli eserciti, sarà tolto il chiodo, il quale era stato fitto in luogo fermo; e sarà riciso, e caderà; e il carico che riposava sopra esso andrà in ruina; perciocchè il Signore ha parlato. Il carico di Tiro
Naquele dia, diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos, o prego fincado em lugar firme será tirado; e será cortado, e cairá, e a carga que nele estava se desprenderá, porque o SENHOR o disse.
當那日,萬軍之耶和華說,釘在堅固處的釘子必挪移,被砍斷落地,掛在上面的各樣重擔都被切斷。這是耶和華說的。」
