Context — A Message for Shebna
16What are you doing here, and who authorized you to carve out a tomb for yourself here—to chisel your tomb in the height and cut your resting place in the rock?
17Look, O mighty man! The LORD is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you,
18roll you into a ball, and sling you into a wide land. There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will remain—a disgrace to the house of your master.
19I will remove you from office, and you will be ousted from your position. 20On that day I will summon My servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.Cross References

Isaiah 22:18 Summary
This verse is talking about how God will judge someone who is very proud and arrogant. He will take away their power and prestige, and they will die in a far-off land, away from their home and family. This is a reminder that God is in control, and we should not trust in our own strength or riches, but in Him alone (Proverbs 3:5-6, Psalm 20:7). We should humble ourselves before God and trust in His sovereignty, knowing that He will bring judgment on those who do not obey Him.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to be 'rolled into a ball' in Isaiah 22:18?
This phrase is a metaphor for being completely overcome and helpless, much like a ball that is tossed aside, as seen in the context of God's judgment in Isaiah 22:17, where the LORD is about to shake the mighty man violently.
Why will the glorious chariots remain in the wide land?
The chariots will remain as a reminder of the pride and arrogance of the one being judged, much like the idols that were left behind in Babylon, as described in Isaiah 21:9, and will serve as a disgrace to the house of the master.
What is the significance of dying in a 'wide land'?
Dying in a wide land, far from one's home and people, is a symbol of exile and separation from God, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:64-66, where it is described as a curse for disobedience.
How does this verse relate to God's sovereignty?
This verse demonstrates God's power and control over all nations and individuals, as He is the one who will sling the mighty man into a wide land, much like He did with the king of Babylon in Isaiah 14:12-15, and will bring judgment on those who do not obey Him.
Reflection Questions
- What are the things in my life that I am prideful about, and how can I humble myself before God?
- How can I trust in God's sovereignty when I feel like my life is being 'slinged' into uncertainty?
- What are the 'glorious chariots' in my life that I am relying on for security, and how can I make sure I am not putting my trust in the wrong things?
- In what ways can I prepare myself for the judgment of God, and how can I make sure I am living a life that is pleasing to Him?
Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 22:18
He will surely violently turn and toss thee,.... Or, "wrapping he will wrap thee with a wrapping"; as anything is wrapped up close and round, either to be more commodiously carried, or more easily
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 22:18
He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 22:18
He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball, Heb. wrapping he will wrap thee up like a ball, which consists of materials wrapped and bound together, that it may be tossed far away. Or, Rolling he will roll thee with the rolling of a ball. Into a large country; like a ball which is cast into a large and plain spot of ground, where being thrown by a strong man, it runs far and wide. Or, to a far country, which seems to be here called large of spaces, not so much in itself, for that was inconsiderable to him, whether the land of his captivity was large or little, as in respect of its distance from the place of his birth and abode. The chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord’ s house. The sense of the words thus rendered seems to be this, Thy glorious chariots, wherein thou didst ride in great state at Jerusalem, shall then and there be turned into shame to thyself, and to thy master, to whom it is just matter of reproach, that he was so foolish as to advance and trust such a faithless and unworthy person. But the words are by divers others fitly rendered, there the chariots of thy glory shall be, (or, shall die or vanish, i.e. that shall be the end of all thy pompous chariots, and other monuments of thy pride,) O thou who art the shame of thy Lord’ s house; who by thy unjust and wicked practices hast exposed thy king and master, and the royal family, to reproach and contempt.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 22:18
Isaiah 22:18 He will surely violently turn and toss thee [like] a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory [shall be] the shame of thy lord’ s house.Ver. 18. He will surely turn and toss thee.] Turn thee like a bowl, and toss thee like a ball. How and when this was fulfilled the Scripture relateth not. But the Talmudists tell us that Shebna, revolting to Sennacherib, was by him - after the execution done by God’ s angel upon his forces - carried to Nineveh, there tied to a horse tail, and drawn through briers and brambles till he died. There shalt thou die.] Ingloria vita recedet. Spotswood, Archbishop of St Andrews, who had discouraged, and by degrees extirpated, many faithful ministers of Scotland, thought it seasonable, A.D. 1639, to repair into England, where he died; and so was fulfilled upon him the prediction of Mr Walsh, a famous Scottish minister, who, in a letter to the bishop, written long before, told him he should die an outcast. And there the chariots of thy glory.] Thy stately chariots, wherein thou delightest to be hurried up and down, these shall also die or cease; O domus regiae dedecus! O optimi regis opprobrium! - for so some read the words by an apostrophe to Shebna - O thou that art such a blur to thy good master, and such a disgrace to his house. Shebna affected to bear as great a deportment almost as the king himself did, sed passus est manes suos, but he came to an ill end. So did the Duke of Guise in France; and so did here Cardinal Wolsey, Sir Thomas Moore, Sir Francis Bacon, &c.
Myst. of Iniq., p. 15. O dedecus domus domini!
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 22:18
(18) Like a ball into a large country.—The picture is that of a ball flung violently on a smooth, even plain where it bounds on and on with nothing to stay its progress. The “large country” is, probably, the plain of Mesopotamia, where Shebna is to end his days in exile. There the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord’s house.—Better, Thither shall go the chariots of thy glory, the shame of thy lord’s house. The words point to another form of Shebna’s ostentatious pride. Not content with riding on an ass or mule, as even judges and counsellors rode (Judges 5:10; Judges 10:4; Judges 12:14; 2 Samuel 17:23), he had appeared in public in stately chariots, such as were used by kings (Song Son 1:9; Son 3:9). These were to accompany him in his exile, but it would be as the spoil of the conqueror. There are no records of the fulfilment of the prediction, and the judgment may have been averted by repentance; but when we next meet with Shebna (Isaiah 36:22) he is in the inferior position of a scribe, and Eliakim occupies his place as being “over the household.”
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 22:18
18. The first half of the verse reads: He will roll thee up in a bundle (and toss thee) like a ball into a spacious land (lit. “a land broad on both sides,” as Genesis 34:21; Judges 18:10). The words “and toss thee” have to be supplied from the context; the construction is pregnant. The figure expresses banishment from Jehovah’s territory, the “spacious land” referring probably to the Assyrian Empire. there shall thou die (cf. Amos 7:17) and there shall be thy splendid chariots, thou shame of thy lord’s house] To ride forth with “chariots and horses” was once regarded as a sign of aspiring to the highest dignity (2 Samuel 15:1; 1 Kings 1:5); later it seems to have been the privilege of the princely caste (Jeremiah 17:25), peculiarly offensive, therefore, in a foreign adventurer. The concentrated bitterness of the last words points to something worse than political differences as the cause of Isaiah’s antipathy to Shebna.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 22:18
He will surely violently turn - Lowth has well expressed the sense of this: He will whirl thee round and round, and cast thee away.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 22:18
17-19. Behold — The doom of this faithless heathen officer, also a leader away of the people, now follows.
