11 And you made a reservoir (A)between the two walls
For the waters of the (B)old pool.
But you did not [a]depend on Him who made it,
Nor did you [b]take into consideration Him who planned it long ago.

12 Therefore on that day the Lord [c]God of armies called you to (C)weeping, to wailing,
To (D)shaving the head, and to wearing sackcloth.
13 Instead, there is (E)joy and jubilation,
Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep,
Eating of meat and drinking of wine:
(F)Let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die.”
