• “Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die” is the reckless cry of men who know there is danger ahead, but are determined to have their fling before it arrives. The Apostle Paul quoted these words in 1 Corinthians 15:32, showing that if this transient life were all, and there were no resurrection of the dead, such a reckless attitude might be justified. (“Isaiah 22” by F.B. Hole)

• With no fear of God before their eyes, millions are determined to get all the pleasure possible out of life with the hope that death ends all.

(“Isaiah 22” by F.B. Hole)
