Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 22:25

_ _ nail ... fastened — Shebna, who was supposed to be firmly fixed in his post.

_ _ burden ... upon it — All that were dependent on Shebna, all his emoluments and rank will fail, as when a peg is suddenly “cut down,” the ornaments on it fall with it. Sin reaches in its effects even to the family of the guilty (Exodus 20:5).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 22:15-25.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 22:25

The nail — Shebna, who seemed to be so. The burden — All those wicked officers that were advanced and supported by his power.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 22:25

In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the (a) nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that [was] upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken [it].

(a) He means Shebna, who in man's judgment should never have fallen.
