Isaiah 22:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² The Lord who rules over all
    called out to you at that time.
The Lord told you to weep and cry.
    He told you to tear your hair out.
    And he told you to put on the rough clothing people wear when they’re sad.
¹³ Instead, you are enjoying yourselves at wild parties!
    You are killing cattle and sheep.
    You are eating their meat and drinking wine.
You are saying, “Let’s eat and drink,
    because tomorrow we’ll die.”
