The Hebrew root for "depose" is "סוּר" (sur), which means to turn aside or remove. This reflects God's sovereign power to change leadership according to His will. Historically, this is a direct message to Shebna, a steward in the royal court of Judah, who had become prideful and self-serving. The act of deposing signifies God's judgment against those who misuse their authority and fail to honor Him.<p><b>from office</b><br />The term "office" here refers to a position of responsibility and authority. In the context of ancient Judah, this would have been a significant role within the king's administration. The Hebrew word "מִמִּשְׂרָה" (mimsharah) is used, which denotes governance or dominion. This highlights the seriousness of the position and the gravity of being removed from it. It serves as a reminder that all positions of power are ultimately under God's control and should be exercised with humility and integrity.<p><b>and you will be ousted</b><br />"Ousted" conveys a forceful removal, emphasizing the certainty and decisiveness of God's action. The Hebrew root "הָדַף" (hadaf) means to push or drive away. This suggests not just a simple removal, but a complete expulsion from the role. It underscores the consequences of failing to align with God's purposes and the inevitable downfall of those who act in pride and self-interest.<p><b>from your position</b><br />The "position" refers to the specific role or office held by the individual. In the historical context, this was Shebna's role as a steward, a high-ranking official in the king's court. The Hebrew word "מַעֲמָד" (ma'amad) implies a standing or station. This phrase serves as a sobering reminder that positions of influence are temporary and contingent upon one's faithfulness to God. It calls believers to reflect on their own roles and responsibilities, ensuring they are used to honor God and serve others.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/isaiah/22.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(19) <span class= "bld">I will drive thee . . . shall he pull thee down.</span>--The change of person has led some interpreters to refer the latter clause to Hezekiah. Such changes, however, are common enough in Hebrew prophetic speech (<span class= "ital">e.g., </span><a href="/isaiah/10-12.htm" title="Why it shall come to pass, that when the Lord has performed his whole work on mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.">Isaiah 10:12</a>; <a href="/context/isaiah/42-13.htm" title="The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yes, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.">Isaiah 42:13-14</a>), and Jehovah is the subject of both clauses.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/22.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 19.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">I will drive thee from thy station</span>; rather, <span class="accented">from thy post</span>, or <span class="accented">office</span> (comp. <a href="/1_chronicles/23-28.htm">1 Chronicles 23:28</a>). <span class="cmt_word">Shall he pull thee down</span>. Jehovah scorns to be meant in both clauses (comp. <a href="/isaiah/34-16.htm">Isaiah 34:16</a>). The full accomplishment of this prophecy is nowhere declared to us. We merely find that, by the time of Rabshakeh's arrival at Jerusalem as Sennacherib's envoy (<a href="/isaiah/36-2.htm">Isaiah 36:2-4</a>), Shebna had lost his post as prefect of the palace, and filled the lower position of scribe or secretary. He may, however, have been subsequently further degraded, and thereupon he may have fled to Egypt, as Jeroboam did (<a href="/1_kings/11-40.htm">1 Kings 11:40</a>). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/isaiah/22-19.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">I will depose</span><br /><span class="heb">וַהֲדַפְתִּ֖יךָ</span> <span class="translit">(wa·hă·ḏap̄·tî·ḵā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singular | second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1920.htm">Strong's 1920: </a> </span><span class="str2">To thrust, drive, push</span><br /><br /><span class="word">you from office,</span><br /><span class="heb">מִמַּצָּבֶ֑ךָ</span> <span class="translit">(mim·maṣ·ṣā·ḇe·ḵā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4673.htm">Strong's 4673: </a> </span><span class="str2">A fixed spot, an office, a military post</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and you will be ousted</span><br /><span class="heb">יֶהֶרְסֶֽךָ׃</span> <span class="translit">(ye·her·se·ḵā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular | second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2040.htm">Strong's 2040: </a> </span><span class="str2">To pull down, in pieces, break, & destroy</span><br /><br /><span class="word">from your position.</span><br /><span class="heb">וּמִמַּעֲמָֽדְךָ֖</span> <span class="translit">(ū·mim·ma·‘ă·mā·ḏə·ḵā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw, Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4612.htm">Strong's 4612: </a> </span><span class="str2">Office, function, service</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/22-19.htm">Isaiah 22:19 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/isaiah/22-19.htm">Isaiah 22:19 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/isaiah/22-19.htm">Isaiah 22:19 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/isaiah/22-19.htm">Isaiah 22:19 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/isaiah/22-19.htm">Isaiah 22:19 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/22-19.htm">Isaiah 22:19 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/22-19.htm">Isaiah 22:19 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/22-19.htm">Isaiah 22:19 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/22-19.htm">Isaiah 22:19 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/isaiah/22-19.htm">Isaiah 22:19 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/isaiah/22-19.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 22:19 I will thrust you from your office (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/22-18.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 22:18"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 22:18" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/22-20.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 22:20"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 22:20" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
