Was hast du hier, und wen hast du hier, daß du dir hier ein Grab aushauen ließest? Der läßt sich hoch oben sein Grab aushauen, meißelt sich eine Wohnung in den Felsen hinein!
Was bedeutet das?
This verse is God speaking to Shebna, asking why he has carved a tomb for himself in a high place. It shows God's disapproval of Shebna's pride and self-importance.
Für Kinder erklärt
Imagine if you built a big, fancy treehouse because you thought you were really important. That's kind of what Shebna did, and God wasn't happy about it because He wants us to be humble.
Historischer Hintergrund
Isaiah wrote this around 700 BC. He was addressing Shebna, an important official in Jerusalem. This was a time when leaders often built elaborate tombs to show their power and importance.
Anwendung für heute
Today, this verse reminds us not to boast about our positions or wealth. For example, if someone brags about their new car or house just to show off, it can remind us to focus on humility and service instead.
