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.
Isaiah study chapter
Isaiah 22
c. 701 BCAn oracle against Jerusalem’s complacency, and the replacing of Shebna with Eliakim.
