12On that day the Lord GOD of Hosts called for weeping and wailing, for shaven heads and the wearing of sackcloth.
13But look, there is joy and gladness, butchering of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
14The LORD of Hosts has revealed in my hearing: “Until your dying day, this sin of yours will never be atoned for,” says the Lord GOD of Hosts.

Isaiah 22:14 Summary
Isaiah 22:14 is a warning from God that some sins will not be forgiven until the person's dying day, emphasizing the importance of seeking God's forgiveness and repenting from sin while we still can, as seen in verses like Luke 13:3 and Acts 17:30. This verse reminds us that our actions have consequences, and that we must take God's warnings seriously, as also seen in Romans 2:5-6. By turning to God in repentance and faith, we can receive forgiveness and avoid the consequences of our sin, as promised in 1 John 1:9 and Psalm 103:12.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the sin being referred to in Isaiah 22:14?
The sin being referred to is the people's careless and reckless attitude towards their impending judgment, as seen in Isaiah 22:13, where they are more concerned with earthly pleasures than with repentance and seeking God, much like the warnings given in Ezekiel 12:2 and Matthew 24:38-39.
Can this sin be forgiven if the people repent?
According to Isaiah 22:14, this sin will not be atoned for until the person's dying day, implying that there may be consequences that will follow the sinner until death, as also seen in the warnings of Hebrews 10:26-27 and Numbers 15:30-31.
Is this verse applicable to believers today?
While the specific context of Isaiah 22:14 is addressed to the people of Judah, the principle of God's judgment on sin and the importance of repentance is still relevant today, as seen in verses like 1 John 1:9 and Acts 3:19.
What does it mean for a sin to not be atoned for?
For a sin to not be atoned for means that the person will not receive forgiveness or cleansing from that sin, and will have to face the consequences of it, as seen in Isaiah 22:14 and supported by verses like Romans 6:23 and Psalm 51:1-2.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I might be ignoring the warnings of God's judgment in my own life, and what changes can I make to seek Him more earnestly?
- How can I balance the enjoyment of earthly blessings with a sober awareness of the judgment that is to come, as seen in Isaiah 22:13 and 1 Corinthians 10:31?
- What sins in my life might be 'unto death', as described in 1 John 5:16-17, and how can I confess and repent of them to receive forgiveness and healing?
- In what ways can I demonstrate a repentant heart before God, as seen in verses like Joel 2:12-13 and Matthew 4:17?
Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 22:14
And it was revealed in my ears by the Lord of hosts,.... Both what they said in the preceding verse Isaiah 22:13, their profane, impious, and scoffing language; which perhaps was not expressed by
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 22:14
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. No JFB commentary on this verse.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 22:14
It was revealed in mine ears; what I am saying is not my own invention, nor uncertain reports, but what I heard with these ears of mine. The like phrase we have , the Lord had told Samuel in his ear. This iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die; you shall feel the sad effects of this wickedness, and my just displeasure for it, as long as you live. This is not spoken exclusively, as if it should be purged after their death, which is absurd and impious to imagine, at least concerning such as lived and died in this desperate and impenitent condition; but emphatically. to show that God will have no mercy upon them in that time of life, in which he useth and delighteth to give repentance and remission of sins to mankind.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 22:14
Isaiah 22:14 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.Ver. 14. And it was revealed in mine ears.] It was told me for certain. God is absolute in threatening, because resolute in punishing; such is his hatred against scuffing epicures. Surely this iniquity shall not be purged.] Heb., If it be ever purged, let me be never trusted again. Till ye die.] That is, never; for "ye shall die in your sin," die eternally. Oh fearful! Pavete, cavete.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 22:14
(14) It was revealed in mine ears . . .—The special form indicates that the warning was “borne in,” ringing, as it were, on the inward ears of the prophet, as an oracle of God. That sensual recklessness could have but one end in all countries and ages, and that end was death. No formal religion, no chastisement, even, would avail to purge an iniquity like that in the absence of a true repentance.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Isaiah 22:14
Verse 14. It was revealed in mine ears - "The voice of Jehovah"] The Vulgate has vox Domini; as if in his copy he had read קול יהוה kol Yehovah; and in truth, without the word קול kol, voice, it is not easy to make out the sense of the passage; as appears from the strange versions which the rest of the ancients, (except the Chaldee,) and many of the moderns, have given of it; as if the matter were revealed in or to the ears of JEHOVAH: εντοιςωσιΚυριου, in the ears of the Lord, Septuagint. Vitringa translates it, Revelatus est in auribus meis JEHOVAH, "JEHOVAH hath revealed it in mine ears," and refers to 1 Samuel 2:27; 1 Samuel 3:21: but the construction in those places is different, and there is no speech of God added; which here seems to want something more than the verb נגלה nigleh to introduce it. Compare Isaiah 5:9, where the text is still more imperfect. The Lord God of hosts] אדני יהוה צבאות Adonai Yehovah tsebaoth. But אדני Adonai, Lord, is omitted by two of Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS., and by two of my own; by three editions, and the Septuagint, Syriac and Arabic.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 22:14
14. And it was revealed … hosts] Render with R.V. And Jehovah of hosts revealed himself in mine ears. The message comes to the prophet like an external voice, which he knows to be that of the Lord (cf. ch. Isaiah 5:9). Surely …] The form is that of adjuration (cf. Isaiah 14:24). purged from you] Better; expiated for you. Cf. 1 Samuel 3:14. The threat neither implies that the sin could be expiated by the death of the sinner, nor means merely that guilt would lie on them as long as they lived; it is a definite intimation that the unexpiated sin will call down punishment, and the punishment will be death.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 22:14
It was revealed in mine ears, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you until ye die - That is, the sin is so aggravated that it shall never be expiated or pardoned.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 22:14
12-14. And now God calls to repentance, to weeping… to mourning… to baldness, etc. — Signs, all of them, of bitter repentance. But the people have gone too far into error of life to obey.
