To (B)shaving the head and to wearing sackcloth.

Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep,
Eating of meat and drinking of wine:
(D)Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die.”

  1. Isaiah 22:12 Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord

For a fool speaks nonsense,
And his heart [a](A)inclines toward wickedness:
To practice (B)ungodliness and to speak error against the Lord,
To [b](C)keep the hungry person unsatisfied
And [c]to withhold drink from the thirsty.
As for a rogue, his weapons are evil;
He (D)devises wicked schemes
To (E)destroy the afflicted with [d]slander,
(F)Even though the needy one speaks [e]what is right.
