They shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house Of his own kindred and family, who shall all depend upon him, and receive glory from him; the offspring and the issue Great and small, the children and grand-children, of his father's house. All vessels of small quantity The meanest of them shall receive a lustre and advantage from their relation to him; from the vessels of cups, &c. All sorts of vessels, great or small, mean or precious, may be hanged upon him, without any fear of falling. In that day shall the nail, &c. This must be understood of Shebna, as a repetition and confirmation of the sentence above denounced against him; shall the nail that is fastened That seemed to be so, both in his own eyes, and in the eyes of others; be removed and fall As above described; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off All those wicked officers that were advanced and supported by his power.
