Isaiah study chapter

Isaiah 22

c. 701 BCAn oracle against Jerusalem’s complacency, and the replacing of Shebna with Eliakim.

Uniquely, an oracle falls on Jerusalem itself, the “valley of vision,” which in the face of siege turns to frantic defenses and reckless feasting — “let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die” — instead of looking to the LORD. Isaiah also condemns the self-serving steward Shebna and announces that Eliakim will be given the key of the house of David, a picture later applied to Christ.
