Isaiah 22:11-13
GOD’S WORD Translation
11 You will build a reservoir between the two walls
to hold the water of the Old Pool.
You didn’t look to Jerusalem’s maker.
You didn’t see the one who formed it long ago.
12 On that day the Almighty Lord of Armies
will call for crying and for mourning,
for shaving your heads and for wearing sackcloth.
13 Instead, you will rejoice, celebrate,
slaughter cattle, and butcher sheep.
You will eat meat, drink wine, and say,
“Let’s eat and drink because tomorrow we’re going to 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)
