Isaiah 22:13 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Eating flesh; not only for necessity, but to excess and luxury, as eating and drinking are taken, Matthew 24:38. Let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we shall die: the prophets tell us that we shall certainly and suddenly be destroyed; it concerns us therefore to make our best of the present time, and to be merry whilst we have the opportunity. A most perverse and desperate conclusion, proceeding from obstinate profaneness, and contempt of God's judgments.

Isaiah 22:13

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.
