Isaiah 22:8-14
New International Version
Isaiah 22:8-14
New International Version
8 The Lord stripped away the defenses of Judah,
and you looked in that day(A)
to the weapons(B) in the Palace of the Forest.(C)
9 You saw that the walls of the City of David
were broken through(D) in many places;
you stored up water
in the Lower Pool.(E)
10 You counted the buildings in Jerusalem
and tore down houses(F) to strengthen the wall.(G)
11 You built a reservoir between the two walls(H)
for the water of the Old Pool,(I)
but you did not look to the One who made it,
or have regard(J) for the One who planned(K) it long ago.
12 The Lord, the Lord Almighty,
called you on that day(L)
to weep(M) and to wail,
to tear out your hair(N) and put on sackcloth.(O)
13 But see, there is joy and revelry,(P)
slaughtering of cattle and killing of sheep,
eating of meat and drinking of wine!(Q)
“Let us eat and drink,” you say,
“for tomorrow we die!”(R)
14 The Lord Almighty has revealed this in my hearing:(S) “Till your dying day this sin will not be atoned(T) for,” says the Lord, the Lord Almighty.

King James Version
Isaiah 22:8-14
King James Version
8 And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest.
9 Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
10 And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall.
11 Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.
12 And in that day did the Lord God of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:
13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.
14 And it was revealed in mine ears by the Lord of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord God of hosts.
