Isaiah 28:1-13
1WoeH1945 to the proudH1348 crownH5850 of the 1drunkardsH7910 of 2EphraimH669, And to the fadingH5034 flowerH6731 of its gloriousH6643 beautyH6643, WhichH834 is at the headH7218 of the 3fertileH8081 valleyH1516 Of those who are 4overcomeH1986 with wineH3196!2BeholdH2009, the LordH136 has a strongH2389 and 5mightyH533 agent; As a stormH2230 of 6hailH1259, a tempestH8178 of destructionH6986, Like a stormH2230 of 7mightyH3524 overflowingH7857 watersH4325, He has castH5117 it downH5117 to the earthH776 with His handH3027.3The proudH1348 crownH5850 of the drunkardsH7910 of EphraimH669 is 8troddenH7429 under footH7272.4And the fadingH5034 flowerH6731 of its gloriousH6643 beautyH6643, WhichH834 is at the headH7218 of the 9fertileH8081 valleyH1516, Will be like the 10first-ripeH1063 figH1063 priorH2962 to summerH7019, WhichH834 11one seesH7200, And 12as soonH5750 as it is in his 13handH3709, He swallowsH1104 it.5In that dayH3117 the 14LordH3068 of hostsH6635 will becomeH1961 a beautifulH6643 15crownH5850 And a gloriousH8597 diademH6843 to the remnantH7605 of His peopleH5971;6A 16spiritH7307 of justiceH4941 for him who sitsH3427 in judgmentH4941, A 17strengthH1369 to those who repelH7725 the 18onslaughtH4421 at the gateH8179.7And theseH428 alsoH1571 19reelH7686 with wineH3196 and staggerH8582 from strongH7941 drinkH7941: 20The priestH3548 and 21the prophetH5030 reelH7686 with strongH7941 drinkH7941, They are confusedH1104 by wineH3196, they staggerH8582 from 22strongH7941 drinkH7941; They reelH7686 while 23having 24visionsH7203, They totterH6328 when rendering judgmentH6417.8For allH3605 the tablesH7979 are fullH4390 of filthyH6675 25vomitH7006, withoutH1097 a single clean placeH4725.
9“To 26whomH4310 would He teachH3384 knowledgeH1844, And to whomH4310 would He interpretH995 the messageH8052? Those just 27weanedH1580 from milkH2461? Those just takenH6267 from the breastH7699?10For He says, ‘2829OrderH6673 on orderH6673, orderH6673 on orderH6673, LineH6957 on lineH6957, lineH6957 on lineH6957, A littleH2191 hereH8033, a littleH2191 thereH8033.’”11IndeedH3588, He will speakH1696 to thisH2088 peopleH5971 Through 30stammeringH3934 lipsH8193 and a foreignH312 tongueH3956,12He whoH834 saidH559 to them, “HereH2088 is 31restH4496, giveH5117 restH5117 to the wearyH5889,” And, “HereH2088 is reposeH4774,” but they wouldH14 not listenH8085.13So the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 to them will be, “32OrderH6673 on orderH6673, orderH6673 on orderH6673, LineH6957 on lineH6957, lineH6957 on lineH6957, A littleH2191 hereH8033, a littleH2191 thereH8033,” That they may goH1980 and 33stumbleH3782 backwardH268, be brokenH7665, snaredH3369 and takenH3920 captiveH3920.
