Isaiah 22:5-14

New International Version

⁵ The Lord, the Lord Almighty, has a day^(A)
    of tumult and trampling^(B) and terror^(C)
    in the Valley of Vision,^(D)
a day of battering down walls^(E)
    and of crying out to the mountains.
⁶ Elam^(F) takes up the quiver,^(G)
    with her charioteers and horses;
    Kir^(H) uncovers the shield.
⁷ Your choicest valleys^(I) are full of chariots,
    and horsemen are posted at the city gates.^(J)

⁸ The Lord stripped away the defenses of Judah,
    and you looked in that day^(K)
    to the weapons^(L) in the Palace of the Forest.^(M)
9 You saw that the walls of the City of David
    were broken through^(N) in many places;
you stored up water
    in the Lower Pool.^(O)
10 You counted the buildings in Jerusalem
    and tore down houses^(P) to strengthen the wall.^(Q)
11 You built a reservoir between the two walls^(R)
    for the water of the Old Pool,^(S)
but you did not look to the One who made it,
    or have regard^(T) for the One who planned^(U) it long ago.

¹² The Lord, the Lord Almighty,
    called you on that day^(V)
to weep^(W) and to wail,
    to tear out your hair^(X) and put on sackcloth.^(Y)
13 But see, there is joy and revelry,^(Z)
    slaughtering of cattle and killing of sheep,
    eating of meat and drinking of wine!^(AA)
“Let us eat and drink,” you say,
    “for tomorrow we die!”^(AB)
