Isaiah 22:23 in context

The verses around it, from Isaiah 22.

19 I will remove you from office, and you will be ousted from your position.

20 On that day I will summon My servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.

21 I 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.

22 I 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.

23 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.

24 So they will hang on him the whole burden of his father’s house: the descendants and the offshoots—all the lesser vessels, from bowls to every kind of jar.

25 In 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.
