Isaiah 22:12 Context
10And ye haue numbred the houses of Ierusalem, and the houses haue yee broken downe to fortifie the wall. 11Ye made also a ditch betweene the two walles, for the water of the olde poole: but ye haue not looked vnto the maker thereof, neither had respect vnto him that fashioned it long agoe. 12And in that day did the Lord God of hostes call to weeping and to mourning, and to baldnesse, and to girding with sackecloth. 13And behold ioy and gladnesse, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine; let vs eate and drinke, for to morrow we shall die. 14And it was reuealed in mine eares by the Lord of hostes; surely this iniquitie shall not be purged from you, till yee die, sayth the Lord God of hostes.
