Isaiah 22:25 Douay-Rheims

In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall the peg be removed, that was fastened in the sure place: and it shall be broken and shall fall: and that which hung thereon, shall perish, because the Lord hath spoken it.

Rashi

1040–1105 Jewish

shall the peg...move (This alludes to) the greatness of Shebna. and the burden which is upon it shall be cut off His family members and his company who depend on him and who hang upon him the vessels of their glory. And since he likened him to a peg, he likened those who boast about him and rely on him, to a burden loaded on the peg. Some interpret it: And the prophecy prophesied about him shall be fulfilled.
