That it was great;
And you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
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:
That you have hewn a sepulcher here,
As he awho hews himself a sepulcher on high,
Who carves a tomb for himself in a rock?

Isaiah 22:11
Unto the maker thereof "To him that hath disposed this" - That is, to God the Author and Disposer of this visitation, the invasion with which he now threatens you. The very same expressions are applied to God, and upon the same occasion, Isaiah 37:26 : -
"Hast thou not heard of old, that I have disposed it;
And of ancient times, that I have formed it?"
