Isaiah 28:5-15

5In that dayH3117 will Jehovah of hostsH6635 becomeH1961 a crownH5850 of gloryH8597, and a diadem of beautyH8597, unto the residue of his peopleH5971; 6and a spiritH7307 of justiceH4941 to him that sitteth in judgmentH4941, and strengthH1369 to them that turnH7725 backH7725 the battleH4421 at the gateH8179.

7And even these reelH7686 with wineH3196, and staggerH8582 with strongH7941 drinkH7941; the priestH3548 and the prophetH5030 reelH7686 with strongH7941 drinkH7941, they are swallowedH1104 up of wineH3196, they staggerH8582 with strongH7941 drinkH7941; they errH8582 in vision, they stumble in judgment. 8For all tablesH7979 are fullH4390 of vomitH6892 and filthiness, so that there is no placeH4725 clean.

9Whom will he teachH3384 knowledgeH1844? and whom will he make to understandH995 the messageH8052? them that are weanedH1580 from the milkH2461, and drawn from the breastsH7699? 10For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a littleH2191, there a littleH2191.

11Nay, but bymen of strange lipsH8193 and with another tongueH3956 will he speakH1696 to this peopleH5971; 12to whom he saidH559, This is the restH5117, giveH5117 ye restH5117 to him that is wearyH5889; and this is the refreshing: yet they wouldH14 not hearH8085. 13Therefore shall the wordH1697 of Jehovah beH1961 unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a littleH2191, there a littleH2191; that they may go, and fall backwardH268, and beH1961 brokenH7665, and snared, and takenH3920.

14Wherefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 of Jehovah, ye scoffers, that ruleH4910 this peopleH5971 that is in JerusalemH3389: 15Because ye have saidH559, We have madeH6213 a covenantH1285 with deathH4194, and with SheolH7585 are we at agreement; when the overflowingH7857 scourge shall passH5674 through, it shall not comeH935 unto us; for we have madeH6213 liesH8267 our refugeH4268, and under falsehoodH8267 have we hidH5641 ourselves:
