Isa 28:1 Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower on the head of the fat valley of those who are overcome with wine!
\nIsa 28:2 Behold, the Lord is a mighty and strong one; like a hailstorm, a destroying storm; like a storm of mighty waters overflowing; He sets down to the earth with His hand.
\nIsa 28:3 The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trampled down.
\nIsa 28:4 And the glorious beauty which is on the head of the fat valley shall be a fading flower, like the first ripe fig before summer which the seeing one sees; while it is yet in his hand, he swallows it.
\nIsa 28:5 In that day Jehovah of Hosts shall become a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty to the rest of His people,
\nIsa 28:6 and a spirit of justice to him who sits on the judgment seat; and for might to those turning back the battle toward the gate.
\nIsa 28:7 But they also have gone astray by wine, and have erred through fermented drink; priest and prophet have erred through fermented drink; they have been swallowed by wine; they strayed from fermented drink; they err in vision; they stumble in judgment;
\nIsa 28:8 for all tables are full of vomit and filth, without a clean place.
\nIsa 28:9 To whom shall He teach knowledge? And to whom shall He explain the message? Those weaned from milk, those moving from breasts?
\nIsa 28:10 For precept must be on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little.
\nIsa 28:11 For with stammering lip and other languages, He will speak to this people;
\nIsa 28:12 to whom He said, This is the rest; cause the weary to rest. Also, This is the repose. But they willed not to hear.
\nIsa 28:13 Yet the Word of Jehovah was to them, precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they might go, and stumble, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
\nIsa 28:14 So hear the Word of Jehovah, scornful men, rulers of this people in Jerusalem.
\nIsa 28:15 Because you have said, We have cut a covenant with death; and, We have made a vision with Sheol, when the overwhelming rod passes through it will not come to us for we have made the lie our refuge, and we have hidden in falsehood.
\nIsa 28:16 So, the Lord Jehovah says this: Behold, I place in Zion a Stone for a foundation, a tried Stone, a precious Cornerstone, a sure Foundation; he who believes shall not hasten.
\nIsa 28:17 And I will lay justice for a line, and righteousness for a plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of the lie; and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
\nIsa 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be covered; and your vision with Sheol shall not rise up. When the overwhelming whip passes through, then you shall be for a trampling to it.
\nIsa 28:19 As often as it passes, it shall take you; for morning by morning it shall pass; and by day and by night, it shall only be a terror to understand the message.
\nIsa 28:20 For the bed is shorter than one can stretch himself on; and the cover is narrower than one can wrap himself in.
\nIsa 28:21 For Jehovah shall rise up, as at Mount Perazim; He shall be stirred as in the Gibeon Valley; to do His work, His strange work; and to perform His task, His alien task.
\nIsa 28:22 So, then, do not be mockers, that your bonds not be made strong. For I have heard from the Lord Jehovah of Hosts that a full end is decreed on all the earth.
\nIsa 28:23 Give ear and hear My voice; pay attention and hear My Word:
\nIsa 28:24 Does the plowman plow all day to sow? Does he open and break the clods of his ground?
\nIsa 28:25 When he has leveled its surface, does he not strew black cummin, and scatter cummin, and place wheat in rows, and barley in its place, and spelt in its border?
\nIsa 28:26 And He instructs him for the right; his God teaches him.
\nIsa 28:27 For black cummin is not threshed with the sledge; nor is a cartwheel turned on cummin. But black cummin is beaten out with the staff, and cummin with the rod.
\nIsa 28:28 Bread is crushed, but not always does one thresh it with threshing; and he drives the wheel of his cart; and his horses do not beat it small.
\nIsa 28:29 This also comes from Jehovah of Hosts, doing wonders in counsel, making sound wisdom great. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
