“Says Yahweh of hosts.
‘On that day,
The peg that was fastened
In a secure place
Will give way.
It will be cut down.
It will fall.
The load that was on it
Will perish.’
Yahweh has spoken.”
Something goes wrong. All the hopes that were placed on Eliakim fail. Yahweh, via Isaiah, said that the strongly fastened peg gave way. It fell down. The load was too heavy. They all perished. Somehow, without anything specific, Eliakim failed and his whole family suffered.
