Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley of them that are overcome with wine! |
|
28:1 ¶
Woe°
to the crown°
of pride,°
to the drunkards°
of Ephraim,°
whose glorious°
beauty°
[is] a fading°°
flower,°
which°
[are] on°
the head°
of the fat°
valleys°
of them that are overcome°°
with wine!° |
28:2
Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one; as a tempest of hail, a destroying storm, as a tempest of mighty waters overflowing, will he cast down to the earth with the hand. |
|
28:2
Behold,°
the Lord°
hath a mighty°
and strong one,°
[which] as a tempest°
of hail°
[and] a destroying°
storm,°
as a flood°
of mighty°
waters°
overflowing,°°
shall cast down°°°
to the earth°
with the hand.° |
28:3
The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot: |
|
28:3
The crown°
of pride,°
the drunkards°
of Ephraim,°
shall be trodden°°
under feet:° |
28:4
and the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as the first-ripe fig before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up. |
|
28:4
And the glorious°
beauty,°
which°
[is] on°
the head°
of the fat°
valley,°
shall be°
a fading°°
flower,°
[and] as the hasty fruit°
before°
the summer;°
which°
[when] he that looketh°°
upon it seeth,°°
while it is yet°
in his hand°
he eateth it up.°° |
28:5 ¶
In that day will Jehovah of hosts become a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people; |
|
28:5 ¶
In that°
day°
shall the LORD°
of hosts°
be°
for a crown°
of glory,°
and for a diadem°
of beauty,°
unto the residue°
of his people,° |
28:6
and a spirit of justice to him that sitteth in judgment, and strength to them that turn back the battle at the gate. |
|
28:6
And for a spirit°
of judgment°
to him that sitteth°°
in°
judgment,°
and for strength°
to them that turn°°
the battle°
to the gate.° |
28:7 ¶
And even these reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink; the priest and the prophet reel with strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they stagger with strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. |
|
28:7 ¶
But they°
also°
have erred°°
through wine,°
and through strong drink°
are out of the way;°°
the priest°
and the prophet°
have erred°°
through strong drink,°
they are swallowed up°°
of°
wine,°
they are out of the way°°
through°
strong drink;°
they err°°
in vision,°
they stumble°°
[in] judgment.° |
28:8
For all tables are full of vomit [and] filthiness, [so that there is] no place [clean]. |

28:8
For°
all°
tables°
are full°°

28:9 ¶
Whom will he teach knowledge? and whom will he make to understand the message? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts? |
|
28:9 ¶
°
Whom°
shall he teach°°
knowledge?°
and whom°
shall he make to understand°°
doctrine?°
[them that are] weaned°°
from the milk,°°
[and] drawn°
from the breasts.°° |
28:10
For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little. |
|
28:10
For°
precept°
[must be] upon precept,°
precept°
upon precept;°
line°
upon line,°
line°
upon line;°
here°
a little,°
[and] there°
a little:° |
28:11
Nay, but by [men of] strange lips and with another tongue will he speak to this people; |
|
28:11
For°
with stammering°
lips°
and another°
tongue°
will he speak°°
to°
this°
people.° |
28:12
to whom he said, This is the rest, give ye rest to him that is weary; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. |
|
28:12
To°
whom°
he said,°°
This°
[is] the rest°
[wherewith] ye may cause the weary°
to rest;°°
and this°
[is] the refreshing:°
yet they would°°
not°
hear.°° |
28:13
Therefore shall the word of Jehovah be unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. |
|
28:13
But the word°
of the LORD°
was°
unto them precept°
upon precept,°
precept°
upon precept;°
line°
upon line,°
line°
upon line;°
here°
a little,°
[and] there°
a little;°
that°
they might go,°°°
and fall°°
backward,°
and be broken,°°
and snared,°°
and taken.°° |
28:14 ¶
Wherefore hear the word of Jehovah, ye scoffers, that rule this people that is in Jerusalem: |
|
28:14 ¶
Wherefore°
hear°°
the word°
of the LORD,°
ye scornful°
men,°°
that rule°°
this°
people°
which°
[is] in Jerusalem.° |
28:15
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: |
|
28:15
Because°
ye have said,°°
We have made°°
a covenant°
with°
death,°
and with°
hell°
are we°°
at°
agreement;°
when°
the overflowing°°
scourge°°°
shall pass through,°°°°
it shall not°
come°°
unto us: for°
we have made°°
lies°
our refuge,°
and under falsehood°
have we hid°°
ourselves:° |
28:16 ¶
therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-[stone] of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not be in haste. |
|
28:16 ¶
Therefore°
thus°
saith°°
the Lord°
GOD,°
Behold,°
I lay°°
in Zion°
for a foundation°
a stone,°
a tried°
stone,°
a precious°
corner°
[stone], a sure°°
foundation:°
he that believeth°°
shall not°
make haste.°° |
28:17
And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place. |
|
28:17
Judgment°
also will I lay°°
to the line,°
and righteousness°
to the plummet:°
and the hail°
shall sweep away°°
the refuge°
of lies,°
and the waters°
shall overflow°°
the hiding place.° |
28:18 ¶
And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. |
|
28:18 ¶
And your covenant°
with°
death°
shall be disannulled,°°
and your agreement°
with°
hell°
shall not°
stand;°°
when°
the overflowing°°
scourge°
shall pass through,°°
then ye shall be°
trodden down°
by it. |
28:19
As often as it passeth though, it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night: and it shall be nought but terror to understand the message. |
|
28:19
From the time°°
that it goeth forth°°
it shall take°°
you: for°
morning°
by morning°
shall it pass over,°°
by day°
and by night:°
and it shall be°
a vexation°
only°
[to] understand°°
the report.° |
28:20
For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it; and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it. |
|
28:20
For°
the bed°
is shorter°°
than that [a man] can stretch°°
himself°°
[on it]: and the covering°
narrower°°
than that he can wrap°°
himself°
[in it]. |
28:21
For Jehovah will rise up as in mount Perazim, he will be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his strange work, and bring to pass his act, his strange act. |
|
28:21
For°
the LORD°
shall rise up°°
as [in] mount°
Perazim,°°
he shall be wroth°°
as [in] the valley°
of Gibeon,°
that he may do°°
his work,°
his strange°°
work;°
and bring to pass°°
his act,°
his strange°
act.° |
28:22
Now therefore be ye not scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for a decree of destruction have I heard from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, upon the whole earth. |
|
28:22
Now°
therefore be ye not mockers,°°°
lest°
your bands°
be made strong:°°
for°
I have heard°°
from°°
the Lord°
GOD°
of hosts°
a consumption,°
even determined°°
upon°
the whole°
earth.° |
28:23 ¶
Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech. |
|
28:23 ¶
Give ye ear,°°
and hear°°
my voice;°
hearken,°°
and hear°°
my speech.° |
28:24
Doth he that ploweth to sow plow continually? doth he [continually] open and harrow his ground? |
|
28:24
Doth the plowman°°
plow°°
all°
day°
to sow?°°
doth he open°°
and break the clods°°
of his ground?° |
28:25
When he hath levelled the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and put in the wheat in rows, and the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in the border thereof? |
|
28:25
When°
he hath made plain°°
the face°
thereof, doth he not°
cast abroad°°
the fitches,°
and scatter°°
the cummin,°
and cast°°
in the principal°
wheat°
and the appointed°°
barley°
and the rie°
in their place?° |
28:26
For his God doth instruct him aright, [and] doth teach him. |
|
28:26
For his God°
doth instruct°°
him to discretion,°
[and] doth teach°°
him. |
28:27
For the fitches are not threshed with a sharp [threshing] instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod. |
|
28:27
For°
the fitches°
are not°
threshed°°
with a threshing instrument,°
neither is a cart°
wheel°
turned°
about°°
upon°
the cummin;°
but°
the fitches°
are beaten out°°
with a staff,°
and the cummin°
with a rod.° |
28:28
Bread [grain] is ground; for he will not be always threshing it: and though the wheel of his cart and his horses scatter it, he doth not grind it. |
|
28:28
Bread°
[corn] is bruised;°°
because°
he will not°
ever°
be threshing°°°°
it, nor break°°
[it with] the wheel°
of his cart,°
nor°
bruise°°
it [with] his horsemen.° |
28:29
This also cometh forth from Jehovah of hosts, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom. |
|
28:29
This°
also°
cometh forth°°
from°°
the LORD°
of hosts,°
[which] is wonderful°°
in counsel,°
[and] excellent°°
in working.° |
