Isaiah 22:12-14
New American Standard Bible
12 Therefore on that day the Lord [a]God of armies called you to (A)weeping, to wailing,
To (B)shaving the head, and to wearing sackcloth.
13 Instead, there is (C)joy and jubilation,
Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep,
Eating of meat and drinking of wine:
“(D)Let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die.”
14 But the Lord of armies revealed Himself [b]to me:
“Certainly this (E)wrongdoing (F)will not be [c]forgiven you
(G)Until you die,” says the Lord [d]God of armies.
