Isaiah 22:7-13

Isaiah 22:7-13 NCV

Your nicest valleys will be filled with chariots. Horsemen will be ordered to guard the gates of the city. The walls protecting Judah will fall. At that time the people of Jerusalem depended on the weapons kept at the Palace of the Forest. You saw that the walls of Jerusalem had many cracks that needed repairing. You stored up water in the lower pool. You counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you tore down houses to repair the walls with their stones. You made a pool between the two walls to save water from the old pool, but you did not trust the God who made these things; you did not respect the One who planned them long ago. The Lord GOD All-Powerful told the people to cry and be sad, to shave their heads and wear rough cloth. But look, the people are happy and are having wild parties. They kill the cattle and the sheep; they eat the food and drink the wine. They say, “Let us eat and drink, because tomorrow we will die.”
