Isaiah 22:11-13
The Voice
Isaiah 22:11-13
The Voice
11 You built a reservoir between two walls to hold the water of the old pool.
But in all this you neglected the One who could really save you;
You failed to consider the One who actually made this place
and established it so long ago.
12 Consequently, the Lord, the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies,
determined that day would be a time of weeping and regret,
A time of shaved heads and donning sackcloth
and a time for mourning.
13 Yet you missed the point and made merry,
slaughtering cattle and sheep for a giant celebration,
Eating and drinking your fill of wine!
People (to each other): Eat up, drink up, for tomorrow we die.[a]

11 You built a reservoir between the two walls(A)
for the water of the Old Pool,(B)

or have regard(C) for the One who planned(D) it long ago.
12 The Lord, the Lord Almighty,
called you on that day(E)
to weep(F) and to wail,
to tear out your hair(G) and put on sackcloth.(H)

slaughtering of cattle and killing of sheep,
eating of meat and drinking of wine!(J)
“Let us eat and drink,” you say,
“for tomorrow we die!”(K)
