Isaiah 28:1-13

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.
