Isaiah 22:13

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.

And behold joy {H8342} and gladness {H8057}, slaying {H2026} oxen {H1241}, and killing {H7819} sheep {H6629}, eating {H398} flesh {H1320}, and drinking {H8354} wine {H3196}: let us eat {H398} and drink {H8354}; for to morrow {H4279} we shall die {H4191}.

but instead, one sees joy and celebrating, killing of oxen, slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat, drinking of wine "Let's eat and drink now, because tomorrow we'll be dead!"

But look, there is joy and gladness, butchering of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

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.
