Isaiah 21:4-5

4 My heart staggers; horror has appalled me;
^athe twilight I longed for
has been turned for me into trembling.
5 ^bThey prepare the table,
they spread the rugs, ^{▼▼Or they set the watchman}
they eat, they drink.
Arise, O princes;
^doil the shield!

Isaiah 22:12-14

12 In that day ^ethe Lord God of hosts
called for weeping and mourning,
for ^fbaldness and ^gwearing sackcloth;

killing oxen and slaughtering sheep,
eating flesh and drinking wine.
^h“Let us eat and drink,
for tomorrow we die.”
14 The Lord of hosts ⁱhas revealed himself in my ears:
“Surely ^jthis iniquity will not be atoned for you ^kuntil you die,”
says the Lord God of hosts.
