Similarities in the text are marked in GOLD. Variations in the text are marked in GREEN. Isaiah 22:13 |
7 Yea, and there shall be many which shall say: Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die; and it shall be well with us. |
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. |
8 And there shall also be many which shall say: Eat, drink, and be merry; nevertheless, fear God—he will justify in committing a little sin; yea, lie a little, take the advantage of one because of his words, dig a pit for thy neighbor; there is no harm in this; and do all these things, for tomorrow we die; and if it so be that we are guilty, God will beat us with a few stripes, and at last we shall be saved in the kingdom of God. |
This is another case of a single phrase from Isaiah being used in a longer discourse. It is worthwhile to consider Isaiah 22:13 in context and see how the intent and meaning of the phrase is used correctly in the discourse found in 2 Nephi 28.
