Study Note

'In that day the Lord GOD of hosts called for weeping and mourning, for baldness and wearing sackcloth' — the divine call to lamentation is met in Isaiah 22:13 with the people's defiant rejoicing ('eat and drink, for tomorrow we die'), making this verse the hinge of a sharp ironic reversal. The setting is the 'valley of vision' — Jerusalem — facing the Assyrian threat, where instead of repentance the leaders are reveling, unburying armories and fortifying walls in reliance on human preparation. The standard ancient Near Eastern mourning rites invoked here — shaving, sackcloth, weeping — signal the appropriate response to a moment of divine judgment, precisely what Israel withholds. The irony echoes Amos 5:21–24's critique of cultic celebration in the absence of justice and anticipates the 'woe' oracles of Isaiah 5 against those who make revelry the response to crisis.
