Ésaïe 22:19

19 Je te chasserai de ton poste, L'Eternel t'arrachera de ta place.

Ésaïe 22:19 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 22:19

And I will drive thee from thy station
Or thou shalt be driven from it, according to my word; this is said by the prophet, and expresses his being degraded from his office by the king, according to the will of God:

and from thy state shall he pull thee down;
either the king his master, or the Lord, who, by his providence, would so order it, that it should be: the phrases express indignation and force, and an entire removal of him from all offices in the king's house or government; for it does not at all seem likely, what is commonly suggested, that he was removed from his office of treasurer, or steward of the king's house, and put into a lower office, and made a scribe, as he is called, ( Isaiah 37:2 ) besides, the words preceding show that he should be carried captive into another land.

Ésaïe 22:19 In-Context

17 Voici, l'Eternel te lancera d'un jet vigoureux; Il t'enveloppera comme une pelote,
18 Il te fera rouler, rouler comme une balle, Sur une terre spacieuse; Là tu mourras, là seront tes chars magnifiques, O toi, l'opprobre de la maison de ton maître!
19 Je te chasserai de ton poste, L'Eternel t'arrachera de ta place.
20 En ce jour-là, J'appellerai mon serviteur Eliakim, fils de Hilkija;
21 Je le revêtirai de ta tunique, je le ceindrai de ta ceinture, Et je remettrai ton pouvoir entre ses mains; Il sera un père pour les habitants de Jérusalem Et pour la maison de Juda.
