Isaiah

Chapter 28

1 WOE to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, and woe to the shameful diadem of the strength of his glory, which dominates at the entrance of the fertile valley of those that are overcome with wine!

2 Behold, the strength and the might of the LORD are like a storm of hail and like a destroying whirlwind, and as a flood of mighty waters overflowing; I will give rest to this land by your hands:

3 The crown of the proud and of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot;

4 And the shameful garland of the strength of his glory, which dominates at the entrance of the fertile valley, shall be as the firstfruits before the summer, which he who sees it picks up at once and devours.

5 In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory and for a diadem of beauty to the remnant of his people,

6 And for a spirit of justice to him that sits in judgment, and for strength to those who turn away the battle from the gate.

7 But these also have erred with wine, and with strong drink are gone astray; the priests and the prophets have erred with strong drink, they are overcome with wine, they stagger with strong drink, they err in judgment with drunkenness, they eat immoderately.

8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.

9 To whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand the report? Those who are weaned from the milk and drawn from the breasts.

10 For filth is upon filth, filth upon filth; vomit upon vomit, vomit upon vomit; a little here, a little there;

11 For with a difficult speech and with an alien tongue will he speak to this people.

12 For I have said to them, This is the place of my rest, wherewith I may cause the weary to rest; and this is the place of tranquillity; but they would not listen.

13 So the word of the LORD was to them filth upon filth, filth upon filth, vomit upon vomit, vomit upon vomit; a little here, a little there; that they might return and fall backward and be broken and snared and taken.

14 Therefore hear the word of the LORD, O you scornful men, who rule this people that is in Jerusalem:

15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol we have made an agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come to us; for we have placed our hope in lies, and under falsehood we have hid ourselves;

16 Therefore thus says the LORD God: Behold, I lay in Zion a foundation, a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation; he who believes shall not be afraid.

17 And I will make justice to the measuring line, and righteousness to the plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down by it.

19 From the time that it passes through, it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night; and it shall be a terror only to understand the report.

20 For the cloth is too short, and the warp grows weak and is insufficient for a garment.

21 For the LORD shall rise up as in a mountain pass, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his works, his strange works, and bring to pass his acts, his strange acts.

22 Now therefore do not mock, lest your chastisement be severe; for I have heard from the LORD of hosts that he will bring destruction and judgment upon the whole earth.

23 Give ear and hear my voice; hearken and hear my speech.

24 Does the plowman plow all day to sow? Does he open and harrow his ground?

25 Does he not, after he has leveled its surface, scatter the dill and sow cummin, and put in wheat and barley, and rye in its borders?

26 For his God does instruct him to discretion, and does teach him.

27 For dill is not threshed under the feet of oxen, nor is a threshing instrument turned about upon cummin, but dill is beaten out with a staff, and cummin with a rod.

28 Grain is threshed for our sakes because man would not otherwise be threshing it, nor break it with many wheels of his threshing instruments, nor crush it under the feet of his oxen.

29 This also comes forth from the LORD of hosts, who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in instruction.

Isaiah

Chapter 28

1 Woe1945 to the crown5850 of pride,1348 to the drunkards7910 of Ephraim,669 whose glorious6643 beauty8597 is a fading5034 flower,6731 which834 are on the head7218 of the fat8081 valleys1516 of them that are overcome1986 with wine!3196

2 Behold,2009 the Lord136 has a mighty2389 and strong533 one, which as a tempest2230 of hail1259 and a destroying6986 storm,8178 as a flood2230 of mighty3524 waters4325 overflowing,7857 shall cast3240 down to the earth776 with the hand.3027

3 The crown5850 of pride,1348 the drunkards7910 of Ephraim,669 shall be trodden7429 under feet:7272

4 And the glorious6643 beauty,8597 which834 is on5921 the head7218 of the fat8081 valley,1516 shall be a fading5034 flower,6733 and as the hasty1061 fruit1061 before2962 the summer;7019 which834 when he that looks7200 on it sees,7200 while it is yet5750 in his hand3709 he eats1104 it up.

5 In that day3117 shall the LORD3068 of hosts6635 be for a crown5850 of glory,6643 and for a diadem6843 of beauty,8597 to the residue7605 of his people,5971

6 And for a spirit7307 of judgment4941 to him that sits3427 in judgment,4941 and for strength1369 to them that turn7725 the battle4421 to the gate.8179

7 But they also1571 have erred7686 through wine,3196 and through strong drink7941 are out of the way;8582 the priest3548 and the prophet5030 have erred7686 through strong drink,7941 they are swallowed1104 up of wine,3196 they are out of the way8582 through4480 strong drink;7941 they err7686 in vision,7203 they stumble6328 in judgment.6417

8 For all3605 tables7979 are full4390 of vomit6892 and filthiness,6675 so that there is no1097 place4725 clean.

9 Whom853 4310 shall he teach3384 knowledge?1844 and whom834 413 shall he make to understand995 doctrine?8052 them that are weaned1580 from the milk,2461 and drawn6267 from the breasts.7699

10 For precept6673 must be on precept,6673 precept6673 on precept;6673 line6957 on line,6957 line6957 on line;6957 here8033 a little,2191 and there8033 a little:2191

11 For with stammering3934 lips8193 and another312 tongue3956 will he speak1696 to this2088 people.5971

12 To whom he said,559 This2063 is the rest4496 with which you may cause the weary5889 to rest;5117 and this2063 is the refreshing:4774 yet they would14 not hear.8085

13 But the word1697 of the LORD3068 was to them precept6673 on precept,6673 precept6673 on precept;6673 line6957 on line,6957 line6957 on line;6957 here8033 a little,2191 and there8033 a little;2191 that they might go,3212 and fall3782 backward,268 and be broken,7665 and snared,3369 and taken.3920

14 Why3651 hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD,3068 you scornful3944 men,582 that rule4910 this2088 people5971 which834 is in Jerusalem.3389

15 Because3588 you have said,559 We have made3772 a covenant1285 with death,4194 and with hell7585 are we at agreement;2374 when3588 the overflowing7857 whip7885 shall pass5674 through, it shall not come935 to us: for we have made7760 lies3576 our refuge,4268 and under falsehood8267 have we hid5641 ourselves:

16 Therefore3651 thus3541 said559 the Lord136 GOD,3069 Behold,2005 I lay in Zion6726 for a foundation3248 a stone,68 a tried976 stone,68 a precious3368 corner6438 stone, a sure3245 foundation:4143 he that believes539 shall not make haste.2363

17 Judgment4941 also will I lay7760 to the line,6957 and righteousness6666 to the plummet:4949 and the hail1259 shall sweep3261 away the refuge4268 of lies,3576 and the waters4325 shall overflow7857 the hiding5643 place.

18 And your covenant1285 with death4194 shall be disannulled,3722 and your agreement2380 with hell7585 shall not stand;6965 when3588 the overflowing7857 whip7752 shall pass5674 through, then you shall be trodden4823 down by it.

19 From the time1767 that it goes5674 forth5674 it shall take3947 you: for morning1242 by morning1242 shall it pass5674 over,5674 by day3117 and by night:3915 and it shall be a vexation2113 only7535 to understand995 the report.8052

20 For the bed4702 is shorter7114 than that a man can stretch8311 himself on it: and the covering4541 narrower6887 than that he can wrap3664 himself in it.

21 For the LORD3068 shall rise6965 up as in mount2022 Perazim,6559 he shall be wroth7264 as in the valley6010 of Gibeon,1391 that he may do6213 his work,4639 his strange2114 work;4639 and bring5647 to pass5674 his act,5656 his strange5237 act.5656

22 Now6258 therefore be you not mockers,3887 lest6435 your bands4147 be made strong:2388 for I have heard8085 from the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts6635 a consumption,3617 even determined2782 on the whole3605 earth.776

23 Give you ear,238 and hear8085 my voice;6963 listen,7181 and hear8085 my speech.565

24 Does the plowman2790 plow2790 all3605 day3117 to sow?2232 does he open6605 and break7702 the clods7702 of his ground?127

25 When518 he has made plain7737 the face6440 thereof, does he not cast6327 abroad6327 the fitches,7100 and scatter2236 the cummin,3646 and cast7760 in the principal7795 wheat2406 and the appointed5567 barley8184 and the rye3698 in their place?1367

26 For his God430 does instruct3256 him to discretion,4941 and does teach3384 him.

27 For the fitches7100 are not threshed1758 with a threshing2742 instrument, neither1077 is a cart5699 wheel212 turned5437 about on the cummin;3646 but the fitches7100 are beaten2251 out with a staff,4294 and the cummin3646 with a rod.7626

28 Bread3899 corn is bruised;1854 because3588 he will not ever5331 be threshing1758 it, nor break2000 it with the wheel1536 of his cart,5699 nor3808 bruise1854 it with his horsemen.6571

29 This2088 also1571 comes3318 forth3318 from the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 which is wonderful6381 in counsel,6098 and excellent1431 in working.8454

Chapter 28

1 WOE to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, and woe to the shameful diadem of the strength of his glory, which dominates at the entrance of the fertile valley of those that are overcome with wine!

1 Woe1945 to the crown5850 of pride,1348 to the drunkards7910 of Ephraim,669 whose glorious6643 beauty8597 is a fading5034 flower,6731 which834 are on the head7218 of the fat8081 valleys1516 of them that are overcome1986 with wine!3196

2 Behold, the strength and the might of the LORD are like a storm of hail and like a destroying whirlwind, and as a flood of mighty waters overflowing; I will give rest to this land by your hands:

2 Behold,2009 the Lord136 has a mighty2389 and strong533 one, which as a tempest2230 of hail1259 and a destroying6986 storm,8178 as a flood2230 of mighty3524 waters4325 overflowing,7857 shall cast3240 down to the earth776 with the hand.3027

3 The crown of the proud and of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot;

3 The crown5850 of pride,1348 the drunkards7910 of Ephraim,669 shall be trodden7429 under feet:7272

4 And the shameful garland of the strength of his glory, which dominates at the entrance of the fertile valley, shall be as the firstfruits before the summer, which he who sees it picks up at once and devours.

4 And the glorious6643 beauty,8597 which834 is on5921 the head7218 of the fat8081 valley,1516 shall be a fading5034 flower,6733 and as the hasty1061 fruit1061 before2962 the summer;7019 which834 when he that looks7200 on it sees,7200 while it is yet5750 in his hand3709 he eats1104 it up.

5 In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory and for a diadem of beauty to the remnant of his people,

5 In that day3117 shall the LORD3068 of hosts6635 be for a crown5850 of glory,6643 and for a diadem6843 of beauty,8597 to the residue7605 of his people,5971

6 And for a spirit of justice to him that sits in judgment, and for strength to those who turn away the battle from the gate.

6 And for a spirit7307 of judgment4941 to him that sits3427 in judgment,4941 and for strength1369 to them that turn7725 the battle4421 to the gate.8179

7 But these also have erred with wine, and with strong drink are gone astray; the priests and the prophets have erred with strong drink, they are overcome with wine, they stagger with strong drink, they err in judgment with drunkenness, they eat immoderately.

7 But they also1571 have erred7686 through wine,3196 and through strong drink7941 are out of the way;8582 the priest3548 and the prophet5030 have erred7686 through strong drink,7941 they are swallowed1104 up of wine,3196 they are out of the way8582 through4480 strong drink;7941 they err7686 in vision,7203 they stumble6328 in judgment.6417

8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.

8 For all3605 tables7979 are full4390 of vomit6892 and filthiness,6675 so that there is no1097 place4725 clean.

9 To whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand the report? Those who are weaned from the milk and drawn from the breasts.

9 Whom853 4310 shall he teach3384 knowledge?1844 and whom834 413 shall he make to understand995 doctrine?8052 them that are weaned1580 from the milk,2461 and drawn6267 from the breasts.7699

10 For filth is upon filth, filth upon filth; vomit upon vomit, vomit upon vomit; a little here, a little there;

10 For precept6673 must be on precept,6673 precept6673 on precept;6673 line6957 on line,6957 line6957 on line;6957 here8033 a little,2191 and there8033 a little:2191

11 For with a difficult speech and with an alien tongue will he speak to this people.

11 For with stammering3934 lips8193 and another312 tongue3956 will he speak1696 to this2088 people.5971

12 For I have said to them, This is the place of my rest, wherewith I may cause the weary to rest; and this is the place of tranquillity; but they would not listen.

12 To whom he said,559 This2063 is the rest4496 with which you may cause the weary5889 to rest;5117 and this2063 is the refreshing:4774 yet they would14 not hear.8085

13 So the word of the LORD was to them filth upon filth, filth upon filth, vomit upon vomit, vomit upon vomit; a little here, a little there; that they might return and fall backward and be broken and snared and taken.

13 But the word1697 of the LORD3068 was to them precept6673 on precept,6673 precept6673 on precept;6673 line6957 on line,6957 line6957 on line;6957 here8033 a little,2191 and there8033 a little;2191 that they might go,3212 and fall3782 backward,268 and be broken,7665 and snared,3369 and taken.3920

14 Therefore hear the word of the LORD, O you scornful men, who rule this people that is in Jerusalem:

14 Why3651 hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD,3068 you scornful3944 men,582 that rule4910 this2088 people5971 which834 is in Jerusalem.3389

15 Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol we have made an agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come to us; for we have placed our hope in lies, and under falsehood we have hid ourselves;

15 Because3588 you have said,559 We have made3772 a covenant1285 with death,4194 and with hell7585 are we at agreement;2374 when3588 the overflowing7857 whip7885 shall pass5674 through, it shall not come935 to us: for we have made7760 lies3576 our refuge,4268 and under falsehood8267 have we hid5641 ourselves:

16 Therefore thus says the LORD God: Behold, I lay in Zion a foundation, a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation; he who believes shall not be afraid.

16 Therefore3651 thus3541 said559 the Lord136 GOD,3069 Behold,2005 I lay in Zion6726 for a foundation3248 a stone,68 a tried976 stone,68 a precious3368 corner6438 stone, a sure3245 foundation:4143 he that believes539 shall not make haste.2363

17 And I will make justice to the measuring line, and righteousness to the plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

17 Judgment4941 also will I lay7760 to the line,6957 and righteousness6666 to the plummet:4949 and the hail1259 shall sweep3261 away the refuge4268 of lies,3576 and the waters4325 shall overflow7857 the hiding5643 place.

18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down by it.

18 And your covenant1285 with death4194 shall be disannulled,3722 and your agreement2380 with hell7585 shall not stand;6965 when3588 the overflowing7857 whip7752 shall pass5674 through, then you shall be trodden4823 down by it.

19 From the time that it passes through, it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night; and it shall be a terror only to understand the report.

19 From the time1767 that it goes5674 forth5674 it shall take3947 you: for morning1242 by morning1242 shall it pass5674 over,5674 by day3117 and by night:3915 and it shall be a vexation2113 only7535 to understand995 the report.8052

20 For the cloth is too short, and the warp grows weak and is insufficient for a garment.

20 For the bed4702 is shorter7114 than that a man can stretch8311 himself on it: and the covering4541 narrower6887 than that he can wrap3664 himself in it.

21 For the LORD shall rise up as in a mountain pass, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his works, his strange works, and bring to pass his acts, his strange acts.

21 For the LORD3068 shall rise6965 up as in mount2022 Perazim,6559 he shall be wroth7264 as in the valley6010 of Gibeon,1391 that he may do6213 his work,4639 his strange2114 work;4639 and bring5647 to pass5674 his act,5656 his strange5237 act.5656

22 Now therefore do not mock, lest your chastisement be severe; for I have heard from the LORD of hosts that he will bring destruction and judgment upon the whole earth.

22 Now6258 therefore be you not mockers,3887 lest6435 your bands4147 be made strong:2388 for I have heard8085 from the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts6635 a consumption,3617 even determined2782 on the whole3605 earth.776

23 Give ear and hear my voice; hearken and hear my speech.

23 Give you ear,238 and hear8085 my voice;6963 listen,7181 and hear8085 my speech.565

24 Does the plowman plow all day to sow? Does he open and harrow his ground?

24 Does the plowman2790 plow2790 all3605 day3117 to sow?2232 does he open6605 and break7702 the clods7702 of his ground?127

25 Does he not, after he has leveled its surface, scatter the dill and sow cummin, and put in wheat and barley, and rye in its borders?

25 When518 he has made plain7737 the face6440 thereof, does he not cast6327 abroad6327 the fitches,7100 and scatter2236 the cummin,3646 and cast7760 in the principal7795 wheat2406 and the appointed5567 barley8184 and the rye3698 in their place?1367

26 For his God does instruct him to discretion, and does teach him.

26 For his God430 does instruct3256 him to discretion,4941 and does teach3384 him.

27 For dill is not threshed under the feet of oxen, nor is a threshing instrument turned about upon cummin, but dill is beaten out with a staff, and cummin with a rod.

27 For the fitches7100 are not threshed1758 with a threshing2742 instrument, neither1077 is a cart5699 wheel212 turned5437 about on the cummin;3646 but the fitches7100 are beaten2251 out with a staff,4294 and the cummin3646 with a rod.7626

28 Grain is threshed for our sakes because man would not otherwise be threshing it, nor break it with many wheels of his threshing instruments, nor crush it under the feet of his oxen.

28 Bread3899 corn is bruised;1854 because3588 he will not ever5331 be threshing1758 it, nor break2000 it with the wheel1536 of his cart,5699 nor3808 bruise1854 it with his horsemen.6571

29 This also comes forth from the LORD of hosts, who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in instruction.

29 This2088 also1571 comes3318 forth3318 from the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 which is wonderful6381 in counsel,6098 and excellent1431 in working.8454
