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 22:10 | Isaiah 22:12 >> |
