  28:1 ¶
Woe to the crown of pride, the hirelings of Ephraim, the flower that has fallen from the glory of the top of the fertile mountain, they that are drunken without 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 anger of the Lord is strong and severe, as descending hail where there is no shelter, violently descending; as a great body of water sweeping away the soil, he shall make rest for the land. |
|
28:2
Behold,°
Yahweh°
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, the hirelings of Ephraim, shall be beaten down with the hands and with the feet. |
|
28:3
The crown°
of pride,°
the drunkards°
of Ephraim,°
shall be trodden°°
under feet:° |
|
28:4
And the fading flower of the glorious hope on the top of the high mountain shall be as the early fig; he that sees it, before he takes it into his hand, will desire to swallow it down. |
|
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 the Lord of hosts shall be the crown of hope, the woven [crown] of glory, to the remnant of the people. |
|
28:5 ¶
In that°
day°
shall Yahweh°
Sabaoth°
be°
for a crown°
of glory,°
and for a diadem°
of beauty,°
unto the residue°
of his people,° |
|
28:6
They shall be left in the spirit of judgement for judgement, and for the strength of them that hinder slaying. |
|
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 ¶
For these have trespassed through wine; they have erred through strong drink: the priest and the prophet are mad through strong drink, they are swallowed up by reason of wine, they have staggered through drunkenness; they have erred: this is [their] vision. |
|
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
A curse shall devour this counsel, for this [is their] counsel for the sake of covetousness. |
|
28:8
For°
all°
tables°
are full°°
of vomit°
[and] filthiness,°
[so that there is] no°
place°
[clean]. |
|
28:9 ¶
To whom have we reported evils? and to whom have we reported a message? [even to those] that are weaned from the milk, who are drawn from the breast. |
|
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
Except thou affliction on affliction, hope upon hope: yet a little, [and] yet 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
by reason of the contemptuous [words] of the lips, by means of another language: for they shall speak to this people, saying to them, |
|
28:11
For°
with stammering°
lips°
and another°
tongue°
will he speak°°
to°
this°
people.° |
|
28:12
This is the rest to him that is hungry, and this is the calamity: but 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 the oracle of God shall be to them affliction on affliction, hope on hope, yet a little, [and] yet a little, that they may go and fall backward; and they shall be crushed and shall be in danger, and shall be taken. |
|
28:13
But the word°
of Yahweh°
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 ¶
Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, ye afflicted men, and ye princes of this people that is in Jerusalem. |
|
28:14 ¶
Wherefore°
hear°°
the word°
of Yahweh,°
ye scornful°
men,°°
that rule°°
this°
people°
which°
[is] in Jerusalem.° |
|
28:15
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with the grave{gr.Hades}, and agreements with death; if the rushing storm should pass, it shall not come upon us: we have made falsehood our hope, and by falsehood shall we be protected: |
|
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, [even] the Lord, Behold, I lay for the foundations of Zion{gr.Sion} a costly stone, a choice, a corner-stone, a precious [stone], for its foundations; and he that believes [on him] shall by no means be ashamed. |
|
28:16 ¶
Therefore°
thus°
saith°°
Adonai°
Yahweh,°
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 cause judgement [to be] for hope, and my compassion shall be for [just] measures, and ye that trust vainly in falsehood [shall fall]: for the storm shall by no means pass by you, |
|
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 ¶
except it also take away your covenant of death, and your trust in the grave{gr.Hades} shall by no means stand: if the rushing storm should come upon you, ye shall be beaten 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
Whenever it shall pass by, it shall take you; morning by morning it shall pass by in the day, and in the night there shall be an evil hope. Learn to hear, |
|
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
ye that are distressed; we cannot fight, but we are ourselves too weak for you to be gathered. |
|
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
The Lord shall rise up as a mountain of ungodly [men], and shall be in the valley of Gibeon{gr.Gabaon}; he shall perform his works with wrath, [even] a work of bitterness, and his wrath shall deal strangely, and his destruction shall be strange. |
|
28:21
For°
Yahweh°
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
Therefore do not ye rejoice, neither let your bands be made strong; for I have heard of works finished and cut short by the Lord of hosts, which he will execute upon all the earth. |
|
28:22
Now°
therefore be ye not mockers,°°°
lest°
your bands°
be made strong:°°
for°
I have heard°°
from°°
Adonai°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth°
a consumption,°
even determined°°
upon°
the whole°
earth.° |
|
28:23 ¶
Hearken, and hear my voice; attend, and hear my words. |
|
28:23 ¶
Give ye ear,°°
and hear°°
my voice;°
hearken,°°
and hear°°
my speech.° |
|
28:24
Will the ploughman plough all the day? or will he prepare the seed beforehand, before he tills the ground? |
|
28:24
Doth the plowman°°
plow°°
all°
day°
to sow?°°
doth he open°°
and break the clods°°
of his ground?° |
|
28:25
Does he not, when he has levelled the surface thereof, then sow the small black poppy, or cumin, and afterward sow wheat, and barley, and millet, and bread-corn in thy borders? |
|
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
So thou shalt be chastened by the judgement of thy God, and shalt rejoice. |
|
28:26
For his Elohim°
doth instruct°°
him to discretion,°
[and] doth teach°°
him. |
|
28:27
For the black poppy is not cleansed with harsh treatment, nor will a wagon-wheel pass over the cumin; but the black poppy is threshed with a rod, and the cumin shall be eaten with bread; |
|
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
for I will not be wroth with you for ever, neither shall the voice of my anger crush you. |
|
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
And these signs came forth from the Lord of hosts. Take counsel, exalt vain comfort. |
|
28:29
This°
also°
cometh forth°°
from°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
[which] is wonderful°°
in counsel,°
[and] excellent°°
in working.° |
