“I will drive him like a peg into a firm place, and he will be a throne of glory for the house of his father.”
Isaiah 22:23 (BSB)
Context Reading
21I will clothe him with your robe and tie your sash around him. I will put your authority in his hand, and he will be a father to the dwellers of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. 22I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 23I will drive him like a peg into a firm place, and he will be a throne of glory for the house of his father. 24So they will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house: the descendants and the offshoots — all the lesser vessels, from bowls to every kind of jar. 25In that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, the peg driven into a firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and fall, and the load upon it will be cut down.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.
