22
I will give him the key to the house of David—the highest position in the royal court. When he opens doors, no one will be able to close them; when he closes doors, no one will be able to open them.
22
I will place the key of the House of David on his shoulder; what he opens, no one can close; what he closes, no one can open.
Isaiah 22:22 In-Context
20
“In that day I will summon my servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
21
I will clothe him with your robe and fasten your sash around him and hand your authority over to him. He will be a father to those who live in Jerusalem and to the people 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; he will become a seat of honor for the house of his father.
24
All the glory of his family will hang on him: its offspring and offshoots—all its lesser vessels, from the bowls to all the jars.
