Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”[b]
Footnotes
- Isaiah 22:13 tn Heb “happiness and joy.”
- Isaiah 22:13 tn The prophet here quotes what the fatalistic people are saying. The introductory “you say” is supplied in the translation for clarification; the concluding verb “we die” makes it clear the people are speaking. The six verbs translated as imperatives are actually infinitives absolute, functioning here as finite verbs.
