Isaiah 28:5-15
5On that dayH3117 the 1LordH3068 of armiesH6635 will becomeH1961 a beautifulH6643 2crownH5850 And a gloriousH8597 wreathH6843 to the remnantH7605 of His peopleH5971;6A 3spiritH7307 of justiceH4941 for him who sitsH3427 in judgmentH4941, A 4strengthH1369 to those who repelH7725 the 5onslaughtH4421 at the gateH8179.7And theseH428 alsoH1571 6reelH7686 with wineH3196 and staggerH8582 from intoxicatingH7941 drinkH7941: 7The priestH3548 and 8the prophetH5030 reelH7686 with intoxicatingH7941 drinkH7941, They are confusedH1104 by wineH3196, they staggerH8582 from 9intoxicatingH7941 drinkH7941; They reelH7686 while 10having 11visionsH7203, They staggerH6328 when rendering a verdictH6417.8For allH3605 the tablesH7979 are fullH4390 of filthyH6675 12vomitH7006, withoutH1097 a single clean placeH4725.
9“To 13whomH4310 would He teachH3384 knowledgeH1844, And to whomH4310 would He interpretH995 the messageH8052? Those just 14weanedH1580 from milkH2461? Those just takenH6267 from the breastH7699?10For He says, ‘1516OrderH6673 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 17stammeringH3934 lipsH8193 and a foreignH312 tongueH3956,12He whoH834 saidH559 to them, “ThisH2088 is the 18placeH4496 ofH4496 quietH4496, giveH5117 restH5117 to the wearyH5889,” And, “ThisH2088 is the restingH4774 placeH4774,” but they wouldH14 not listenH8085.13So the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 to them will be, “19OrderH6673 on orderH6673, orderH6673 on orderH6673, LineH6957 on lineH6957, lineH6957 on lineH6957, A littleH2191 hereH8033, a littleH2191 thereH8033,” That they may goH1980 and 20stumbleH3782 backwardH268, be brokenH7665, snaredH3369, and takenH3920 captiveH3920.14ThereforeH3651, 21hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, you 22scoffersH582H3944, Who ruleH4910 thisH2088 peopleH5971 whoH834 are in JerusalemH3389,15BecauseH3588 you have saidH559, “We have madeH3772 a 23covenantH1285 with deathH4194, And with 24SheolH7585 we have madeH6213 a 25pactH2374. 26The 27gushingH7857 floodH7752 will not reachH935 us whenH3588 it passesH5674 byH5674, BecauseH3588 we have madeH7760 28falsehoodH3577 our refugeH4268 and we have 29concealedH5641 ourselves with deceptionH8267.”
