Isaiah 22:8-14

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

8And He removed the defense of Judah.

On that day you depended on the weapons of the house of the forest,

9And you saw that the breaches

In the wall of the city of David were many;

And you collected the waters of the lower pool.

10Then you counted the houses of Jerusalem

And tore down houses to fortify the wall.

11And you made a reservoir between the two walls

For the waters of the old pool.

But you did not depend on Him who made it,

Nor did you take into consideration Him who planned it long ago.

12Therefore on that day the Lord God of armies called you to weeping, to wailing,

To shaving the head, and to wearing sackcloth.

13Instead, there is joy and jubilation,

Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep,

Eating of meat and drinking of wine:

“Let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die.”

14But the Lord of armies revealed Himself to me:

“Certainly this wrongdoing will not be forgiven you

Until you die,” says the Lord God of armies.
