The LORD of Hosts
This title emphasizes God's supreme command over the heavenly armies and His sovereign authority over all creation. In Hebrew, "Yahweh Sabaoth" conveys a sense of God's omnipotence and His role as a divine warrior. Historically, this title reassures the faithful of God's power to protect and execute justice, reminding us of His ultimate control over earthly and spiritual realms.

revealed in my hearing
The phrase suggests a direct and personal communication from God to the prophet Isaiah. The Hebrew root "galah" implies uncovering or making known something previously hidden. This revelation underscores the intimate relationship between God and His prophets, who are chosen to receive and convey His messages to the people. It highlights the seriousness and certainty of the divine message being delivered.

Until your dying day
This phrase indicates the permanence and irrevocability of the judgment pronounced. It suggests a temporal limit, emphasizing the gravity of the sin and the enduring consequences that will last throughout the individual's lifetime. The historical context of Isaiah's prophecy often involved warnings of impending judgment due to persistent disobedience, urging repentance before it is too late.

this sin
The specific sin referred to is not detailed in this verse, but the context of Isaiah 22 points to the people's disregard for God and reliance on their own strength and alliances. In Hebrew, "chattat" denotes an offense against God's law, highlighting the moral and spiritual failure of the people. This serves as a reminder of the seriousness with which God views sin and the need for genuine repentance.

will not be atoned for
Atonement, or "kaphar" in Hebrew, involves covering or reconciling a breach between humanity and God. The absence of atonement here signifies a divine judgment where forgiveness is withheld due to the people's unrepentant hearts. This stark declaration serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of persistent sin and the necessity of seeking God's mercy.

says the Lord GOD of Hosts
The repetition of God's authoritative titles reinforces the certainty and seriousness of the pronouncement. "Adonai Yahweh Sabaoth" combines the personal name of God with His role as the sovereign ruler and commander of heavenly forces. This closing affirmation underscores the divine origin and unchangeable nature of the message, calling the audience to heed the warning with reverence and urgency.

(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.

Verse 14. - It was revealed in mine cars by the Lord of hosts; rather, the Lord of hosts revealed himself in mine ears, saying. This iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die. The sin of turning a call to repentance into an excuse for rioting and drunkenness is one which God will not pardon. It implies a hardness of heart which cannot fail to issue in final impenitence.
