Isaiah 22:13

22:13 But look, there is outright celebration! ¹ 

You say, “Kill the ox and slaughter the sheep,

eat meat and drink wine.

Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!” ² 

Isaiah 51:17

51:17 Wake up! Wake up!

Get up, O Jerusalem!

You drank from the cup the Lord passed to you,

which was full of his anger! ³ 

You drained dry

the goblet full of intoxicating wine. ⁴ 

[22:13]  ¹ tn Heb “happiness and joy.”

[22:13]  ² tn The prophet here quotes what the fatalistic people are saying. The introductory “you say” is supplied in the translation for clarification; the concluding verb “we die” makes it clear the people are speaking. The six verbs translated as imperatives are actually infinitives absolute, functioning here as finite verbs.

[51:17]  ³ tn Heb “[you] who have drunk from the hand of the Lord the cup of his anger.”

[51:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “the goblet, the cup [that causes] staggering, you drank, you drained.”
