Isaiah 22:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 And have also made a ditch between the two walls, for the [a]waters of the old pool, and have not looked unto the maker [b]thereof, neither had respect unto him that formed it of old.
12 And in that day did the Lord God of hosts call unto weeping and mourning, and to baldness and girding with sackcloth.
13 And behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine, [c]eating and drinking, for tomorrow we shall die.

Isaiah 22:11-13
New International Version
11 You built a reservoir between the two walls(A)
for the water of the Old Pool,(B)
but you did not look to the One who made it,
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)
13 But see, there is joy and revelry,(I)
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)
