Isaiah 22:12

Oracle Against Jerusalem

¹¹ And you made a reservoir between the two walls
For the waters of the old pool.
But you did not depend on Him who made it,
Nor did you take into consideration Him who planned it long ago.
¹² Therefore in that day the Lord God of hosts called you to weeping, to wailing,
To shaving the head and to wearing sackcloth.
¹³ Instead, there is gaiety and gladness,
Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep,
Eating of meat and drinking of wine:
“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die.”

In that Day

Lord Almighty

Lord God of Hosts

Lord of Hosts

On that Day

Jehovah

Joel 2:17

Let the priests, the Lord’s ministers,

And do not make Your inheritance a reproach,
A byword among the nations.
Why should they among the peoples say,
‘Where is their God?’”

Joel 1:13

Gird yourselves with sackcloth
And lament, O priests;
Wail, O ministers of the altar!

O ministers of my God,
For the grain offering and the drink offering
Are withheld from the house of your God.
