20And it shall happen on that day that I will call my servant Eliakim son of Hilkiah,

21I will clothe him with your tunic, and I will fasten your sash on him; I will place your authority into his hand, and he will become a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

22And I will place the key of the house of David on his shoulder; he will open, and no one will shut; he will shut, and no one will open.

23And I will drive him like a peg into a secure place, and he will become a throne of honor to his father's house.

24And they will hang on him all the honor of his father’s house: the offspring and the offshoots, every small vessel, from the bowls to all the jars.
