For the water of the old bpool.
But you did not look to its Maker,
Nor did you have respect for Him who fashioned it long ago.
aCalled for weeping and for mourning,
bFor baldness and for girding with sackcloth.
Slaying oxen and killing sheep,
Eating meat and adrinking wine:
b“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
“Surely for this iniquity there bwill be no atonement for you,
Even to your death,” says the Lord God of hosts.
The Judgment on Shebna
“Go, proceed to this steward,
To aShebna, who is over the house, and say:
| << Isaiah 22:12 | Isaiah 22:14 >> |
Isaiah 22:13
Notwithstanding Jehovah's "call to mourning" (Isaiah 22:12), many shall make the desperate state of affairs a reason for reckless revelry (Isaiah 5:11-12, Isaiah 5:14; Jeremiah 18:12; I Corinthians 15:32).
In Isaiah 36:3, Isaiah 36:22; Isaiah 37:2, we find Shebna "a scribe," and no longer prefect of the palace ("over the household"), and Eliakim in that office, as is here foretold. Shebna is singled out as the subject of prophecy (the only instance of an individual being so in Isaiah), as being one of the irreligious faction that set at naught the prophet's warnings (Isa. 28:1-33:24); perhaps it was he who advised the temporary ignominious submission of Hezekiah to Sennacherib.
