Isaiah 22:12-14
New American Standard Bible 1995
12 Therefore in that day the Lord [a]God of hosts called you to (A)weeping, to wailing,
To (B)shaving the head and to wearing sackcloth.
13 Instead, there is (C)gaiety and gladness,
Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep,
Eating of meat and drinking of wine:
“(D)Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die.”
14 But the Lord of hosts revealed Himself [b]to me,
“Surely this (E)iniquity (F)shall not be [c]forgiven you
(G)Until you die,” says the Lord [d]God of hosts.
