Isaiah 22:8-13

8He removed the protection of Judah. You looked in that day to the armor of the House of the Forest;

9You also saw the damage to the city of David, That it was great; And you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

10You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, And the houses you broke down To fortify the wall.

11You also made a reservoir between the two walls For the water of the old pool. But you did not look to its Maker, Nor did you have respect for Him who fashioned it long ago.

12And in that day the Lord God of hosts Called for weeping and for mourning, For baldness and for girding with sackcloth.

13But instead, joy and gladness, Slaying oxen and killing sheep, Eating meat and drinking wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
