Isaiah 28

1WoeH1945 to the crownH5850 of prideH8597 of the drunkardsH7910 of EphraimH669, and to the fading flowerH6731 of his gloriousH8597 beautyH8597, whichH834 is on the headH7218 of the fat valleyH1516 of them that are overcomeH1986 with wineH3196! 2BeholdH2009, the LordH136 hath a mightyH2389 and strongH2389 one; as a tempest of hailH1259, a destroying stormH2230, as a tempest of mightyH2389 watersH4325 overflowingH7857, shall he cast downH3027 to the earthH776 with the handH3027. 3The crownH5850 of pride of the drunkardsH7910 of EphraimH669 shall be troddenH7429 underH7429 footH7272: 4and the fading flowerH6733 of his gloriousH8597 beautyH8597, whichH834 is on the headH7218 of the fat valleyH1516, shall be as the firstripe fig beforeH2962 the summerH7019; whichH834 when he that looketh uponH5921 it seeth, whileH5750 it is yet in his handH3709 he eateth it upH7200. 5In that dayH3117 shall the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 be for a crownH5850 of gloryH8597, and for a diademH6843 of beautyH8597, unto the residue of his peopleH5971: 6and for a spiritH7307 of judgmentH4941 to him that sitteth in judgmentH4941, and for strengthH1369 to them that turnH7725 backH7725 the battleH4421 at the gateH8179. 7But theseH428 also have erredH7686 throughH4480 wineH3196, and throughH4480 strongH7941 drinkH7941 are goneH8582 astrayH8582; the priestH3548 and the prophetH5030 have erredH7686 throughH4480 strongH7941 drinkH7941, they are swallowedH1104 upH1104 of wineH3196, they are goneH8582 astrayH8582 throughH4480 strongH7941 drinkH7941; they errH8582 in vision, they stumble in judgmentH6417. 8For allH3605 tablesH7979 are fullH4390 of vomitH6892 and filthinessH6675, soH3588 that there is noH1097 placeH4725 clean. 9WhomH4310 will he teachH3384 knowledgeH1844? and whomH4310 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; hereH8033 a littleH2191, there a littleH2191. 11Nay, but by menH5971 of strange lipsH8193 and with anotherH312 tongueH3956 will he speakH1696 to this peopleH5971: 12to whomH834 he saidH559, This is the restH5117, giveH5117 ye restH5117 to him that is wearyH5889; and this is the refreshing: yet they would notH3808 hearH8085. 13Therefore shall the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 be unto them precept uponH1961 precept, precept uponH1961 precept; lineH1961 uponH1961 lineH1961, lineH1961 uponH1961 lineH1961; hereH8033 a littleH2191, there a littleH2191; that they may goH1961, and fallH3782 backwardH268, and be brokenH7665, and snaredH3369, and takenH3920. 14Wherefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye scornfulH3944 menH376, that ruleH4910 this peopleH5971 whichH834 is in JerusalemH3389: 15BecauseH3588 ye have saidH559, WeH3588 have madeH6213 a covenantH1285 with deathH4194, and with hell are weH3588 at agreementH1285; when the overflowingH7857 scourge shall passH5674 throughH5674, it shall notH3808 comeH935 unto usH3588; for weH3588 have madeH6213 liesH8267 our refugeH4268, and underH935 falsehoodH8267 have weH3588 hidH5641 ourselves: 16therefore thusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136, BeholdH2005, I layH3245 in ZionH6726 for a foundationH3245 a stoneH68, a tried stoneH68, a preciousH3368 cornerH6438 stoneH68 of sureH539 foundationH3245: he that believeth shall notH3808 makeH3245 haste. 17And I will makeH7760 judgmentH4941 the line, and righteousnessH6666 the plummetH4949: and the hailH1259 shall sweepH3261 awayH7857 the refugeH4268 of liesH3577, and the watersH4325 shall overflowH7857 the hidingH5643 placeH7760. 18And your covenantH1285 with deathH4194 shall be disannulled, and your agreementH1285 with hell shall notH3808 standH6965; when the overflowingH7857 scourgeH7752 shall passH5674 throughH5674, then ye shall be trodden downH4823 by it. 19As oftenH1767 as it passeth throughH5674, it shall takeH3947 youH3588; for morningH1242 by morningH1242 shall it passH5674 throughH5674, by dayH3117 and by nightH3915: and it shall be nought but terrorH2113 to understandH995 the messageH8052. 20For the bedH4702 is shorter thanH3588 that a man can stretchH8311 himself on it; and the coveringH4541 narrowerH7114 thanH3588 that he can wrapH3664 himself in it. 21For the LORDH3068 shall riseH6965 upH6965 as in mountH2022 PerazimH6559, he shall be wroth as in the valleyH6010 of GibeonH1391; that he may doH6213 his workH4639, his strangeH2114 workH4639, and bring to passH6965 his actH6213, his strangeH2114 actH6213. 22NowH6258 therefore be ye notH408 scorners, lestH6435 your bandsH4147 be madeH2388 strongH2388: for a consummation, and that determinedH2782, have I heardH8085 from the LordH136, the LORDH136 of hostsH6635, uponH5921 the wholeH3605 earthH776. 23GiveH238 ye earH238, and hearH8085 my voiceH6963; hearken, and hearH8085 my speech. 24Doth the plowman plowH2790 continuallyH3117 to sowH2232? doth he continuallyH3117 openH6605 and break the clods of his groundH127? 25When he hath madeH7760 plain the faceH6440 thereof, doth he notH3808 cast abroad the fitches, and scatterH6327 the cumminH3646, and putH7760 in the wheatH2406 in rows and the barleyH8184 in the appointedH7760 placeH7760 and the speltH3698 in the border thereof? 26For his GodH430 doth instructH3384 him aright, and doth teachH3384 him. 27For the fitches are notH3808 threshedH1758 with a sharp threshingH1758 instrument, neitherH3808 is a cartH5699 wheelH212 turnedH5437 aboutH5921 uponH5921 the cumminH3646; but the fitches are beatenH2251 outH5921 with a staffH4294, and the cumminH3646 with a rodH7626. 28BreadH3899 corn is groundH1854; for he will notH3808 everH5331 be threshingH1758 it: and thoughH3588 the wheelH1536 of his cartH5699 and his horsesH6571 scatter it, he doth notH3808 grind it. 29This also cometh forthH3318 from the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, whichH6635 is wonderfulH6381 in counselH6098, and excellent in wisdomH8454.
