"In that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth: and behold joy and gladness, slaying of oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die. And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts" (Isaiah 22:12-14).
Behold now before us the valley of vision,
For God has revealed His own expectation:
He calls for repentance, remorse, and decision
To turn every heart to the God of salvation.
Behold now indifference, rebellion, and sin:
With laughter they say, "Let us eat! Let us drink!"
Refusing the call of God's Spirit within,
They pay no attention to what God will think.
Behold now their statement, "Tomorrow we die."
But what of the moment that follows their grave?
Lord, help us to turn them from trusting a lie,
And show them the Savior alone who can save!
