Isaiah 28:1-13

1WoeH1945 to the crownH5850 of prideH1348, to the drunkardsH7910 of EphraimH669, whose gloriousH6643 beautyH8597 is a fadingH5034 flowerH6731, which are on the headH7218 of the fatH8081 valleysH1516 of them that are overcomeH1986 with wineH3196!1 2Behold, the LordH136 hath a mightyH2389 and strong oneH533, which as a tempestH2230 of hailH1259 and a destroyingH6986 stormH8178, as a floodH2230 of mightyH3524 watersH4325 overflowingH7857, shall cast downH3240 to the earthH776 with the handH3027. 3The crownH5850 of prideH1348, the drunkardsH7910 of EphraimH669, shall be troddenH7429 under feetH7272:2 4And the gloriousH6643 beautyH8597, which is on the headH7218 of the fatH8081 valleyH1516, shall be a fadingH5034 flowerH6733, and as the hasty fruitH1061 before the summerH7019; which when he that lookethH7200 upon it seethH7200, while it is yet in his handH3709 he eateth it upH1104.3

5In that dayH3117 shall YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635 be for a crownH5850 of gloryH6643, and for a diademH6843 of beautyH8597, unto the residueH7605 of his peopleH5971, 6And for a spiritH7307 of judgmentH4941 to him that sittethH3427 in judgmentH4941, and for strengthH1369 to them that turnH7725 the battleH4421 to the gateH8179.

7But theyH428 also have erredH7686 through wineH3196, and through strong drinkH7941 are out of the wayH8582; the priestH3548 and the prophetH5030 have erredH7686 through strong drinkH7941, they are swallowed upH1104 ofH4480 wineH3196, they are out of the wayH8582 through strong drinkH7941; they errH7686 in visionH7203, they stumbleH6328 in judgmentH6417. 8For all tablesH7979 are fullH4390 of vomitH6892 and filthinessH6675, so that there is no placeH4725 clean.

9Whom shall he teachH3384 knowledgeH1844? and whom shall he make to understandH995 doctrineH8052? them that are weanedH1580 from the milkH2461, and drawnH6267 from the breastsH7699.4 10For preceptH6673 must be upon preceptH6673, preceptH6673 upon preceptH6673; lineH6957 upon lineH6957, lineH6957 upon lineH6957; here a littleH2191, and there a littleH2191:5 11For with stammeringH3934 lipsH8193 and anotherH312 tongueH3956 will he speakH1696 to this peopleH5971.67 12To whom he saidH559, This is the restH4496 wherewith ye may cause the wearyH5889 to restH5117; and this is the refreshingH4774: yet they wouldH14 not hearH8085. 13But the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 was unto them preceptH6673 upon preceptH6673, preceptH6673 upon preceptH6673; lineH6957 upon lineH6957, lineH6957 upon lineH6957; here a littleH2191, and there a littleH2191; that they might goH3212, and fallH3782 backwardH268, and be brokenH7665, and snaredH3369, and takenH3920.
