‏ Isaiah 22:12-13

v. 12: God wanted this trouble to make the people humble and serious. He called them to weep, mourn, and repent for their sins. God sent these hard times to help them turn back to Him and change their ways.

v. 13: Instead of repenting, the people chose to party and enjoy themselves. They said, Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die . They ignored God’s warnings and acted as if nothing was wrong. This attitude shows a lack of belief in life after death and in God’s judgment (1 Corinthians 15:32; Ecclesiastes 11:9 ^a).
