21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will give thy authority into his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

16. i.e. prob. ‘What hast thou to do...whom hast thou of thine?’17. i.e. ‘seize thee fast’: or, ‘cover thee with a covering.’18. Lit. ‘thither shalt thou (go to) die.’21. ‘strengthen’: or, ‘bind him with thy girdle.’

22 And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut, and he shall shut, and none shall open:

23 I will ﬁx him as a peg in a sure place; and he shall be for a throne of honour to his father's house.

24 And they shall hang upon him all the honour of his father's house, the offspring and the offshoots, all small vessels, from the vessels of bowls and even to the vessels of jars.

25 In that day, saith the LORD of Hosts, shall the peg that is ﬁxed in a sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and :the burden that is upon it shall be cut off; for the Lord hath spoken it.
