Isaiah 28

1 ♥ 📝 W oe^H1945 to the crown^H5850 of pride^H1348 of the drunkards^H7910 of Ephraim,^H669 and to the fading^H5034 flower^H6731 of his glorious^H6643 beauty,^H8597 which is on the head^H7218 of the fat^H8081 valley^H1516 of them that are overcome^H1986 with wine!^H3196

2 ♥ 📝 Behold, the Lord^H136 hath a mighty^H2389 and strong one;^H533 as a tempest^H2230 of hail,^H1259 a destroying^H6986 storm,^H8178 as a tempest^H2230 of mighty^H3524 waters^H4325 overflowing,^H7857 will he cast down^H3240 to the earth^H776 with the hand.^H3027

3 ♥ 📝 The crown^H5850 of pride^H1348 of the drunkards^H7910 of Ephraim^H669 shall be trodden^H7429 under foot:^H7272

4 ♥ 📝 and the fading^H5034 flower^H6733 of his glorious^H6643 beauty,^H8597 which is on the head^H7218 of the fat^H8081 valley,^H1516 shall be as the first-ripe^H1061 fig before the summer;^H7019 which when he that looketh^H7200 upon it seeth,^H7200 while it is yet in his hand^H3709 he eateth it up.^H1104

5 ♥ 📝 In that day^H3117 will Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635 become a crown^H5850 of glory,^H6643 and a diadem^H6843 of beauty,^H8597 unto the residue^H7605 of his people;^H5971

6 ♥ 📝 and a spirit^H7307 of justice^H4941 to him that sitteth^H3427 in judgment,^H4941 and strength^H1369 to them that turn^H7725 back the battle^H4421 at the gate.^H8179

7 ♥ 📝 And even these^H428 reel^H7686 with wine,^H3196 and stagger^H8582 with strong drink;^H7941 the priest^H3548 and the prophet^H5030 reel^H7686 with strong drink,^H7941 they are swallowed up^H1104 of^H4480 wine,^H3196 they stagger^H8582 with strong drink;^H7941 they err^H7686 in vision,^H7203 they stumble^H6328 in judgment.^H6417

8 ♥ 📝 For all tables^H7979 are full^H4390 of vomit^H6892 [and] filthiness,^H6675 [so that there is] no place^H4725 [clean].

9 ♥ 📝 Whom will he teach^H3384 knowledge?^H1844 and whom will he make to understand^H995 the message?^H8052 them that are weaned^H1580 from the milk,^H2461 and drawn^H6267 from the breasts?^H7699

10 ♥ 📝 For it is precept^H6673 upon precept,^H6673 precept^H6673 upon precept;^H6673 line^H6957 upon line,^H6957 line^H6957 upon line;^H6957 here a little,^H2191 there a little.^H2191

11 ♥ 📝 Nay, but by [men of] strange^H3934 lips^H8193 and with another^H312 tongue^H3956 will he speak^H1696 to this people;^H5971

12 ♥ 📝 to whom he said,^H559 This is the rest,^H4496 give ye rest^H5117 to him that is weary;^H5889 and this is the refreshing:^H4774 yet they would^H14 not hear.^H8085

13 ♥ 📝 Therefore shall the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068 be unto them precept^H6673 upon precept,^H6673 precept^H6673 upon precept;^H6673 line^H6957 upon line,^H6957 line^H6957 upon line;^H6957 here a little,^H2191 there a little;^H2191 that they may go,^H3212 and fall^H3782 backward,^H268 and be broken,^H7665 and snared,^H3369 and taken.^H3920

14 ♥ 📝 Wherefore hear^H8085 the word^H1697 of Jehovah,^H3068 ye^H582 scoffers,^H3944 that rule^H4910 this people^H582 that is in Jerusalem:^H3389

15 ♥ 📝 Because ye have said,^H559 We have made^H3772 a covenant^H1285 with death,^H4194 and with Sheol^H7585 are we^H6213 at agreement;^H2374 when the overflowing^H7857 scourge^H7752 shall pass through,^H5674 it shall not come^H935 unto us; for we have made^H7760 lies^H3577 our refuge,^H4268 and under falsehood^H8267 have we hid^H5641 ourselves:

16 ♥ 📝 therefore thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 Jehovah,^H3069 Behold, I lay^H3245 in Zion^H6726 for a foundation a stone,^H68 a tried^H976 stone,^H68 a precious^H3368 [corner-]^H6438 [stone] of sure^H3245 foundation:^H4143 he that believeth^H539 shall not be in haste.^H2363

17 ♥ 📝 And I will make^H7760 justice^H4941 the line,^H6957 and righteousness^H6666 the plummet;^H4949 and the hail^H1259 shall sweep away^H3261 the refuge^H4268 of lies,^H3577 and the waters^H4325 shall overflow^H7857 the hiding-place.^H5643

18 ♥ 📝 And your covenant^H1285 with death^H4194 shall be annulled,^H3722 and your agreement^H2380 with Sheol^H7585 shall not stand;^H6965 when the overflowing^H7857 scourge^H7752 shall pass through,^H5674 then ye shall be trodden down^H4823 by it.

19 ♥ 📝 As often^H1767 as it passeth though,^H5674 it shall take^H3947 you; for morning^H1242 by morning^H1242 shall it pass through,^H5674 by day^H3117 and by night:^H3915 and it shall be nought but terror^H2113 to understand^H995 the message.^H8052

20 ♥ 📝 For the bed^H4702 is shorter^H7114 than that a man can stretch^H8311 himself on it; and the covering^H4541 narrower^H6887 than that he can wrap^H3664 himself in it.

21 ♥ 📝 For Jehovah^H3068 will rise up^H6965 as in mount^H2022 Perazim,^H6559 he will be wroth^H7264 as in the valley^H6010 of Gibeon;^H1391 that he may do^H6213 his work,^H4639 his strange^H2114 work,^H4639 and bring to pass^H5647 his act,^H5656 his strange^H5237 act.^H5656

22 ♥ 📝 Now therefore be ye not scoffers,^H3887 lest your bonds^H4147 be made strong;^H2388 for a decree^H2782 of destruction^H3617 have I heard^H8085 from the Lord,^H136 Jehovah^H136 of hosts,^H6635 upon the whole earth.^H776

23 ♥ 📝 Give ye ear,^H238 and hear^H8085 my voice;^H6963 hearken,^H7181 and hear^H8085 my speech.^H565

24 ♥ 📝 Doth he that ploweth^H2790 to sow^H2232 plow^H2790 continually?^H3117 doth he [continually] open^H6605 and harrow^H7702 his ground?^H127

25 ♥ 📝 When he hath levelled^H7737 the face^H6440 thereof, doth he not cast abroad^H6327 the fitches,^H7100 and scatter^H2236 the cummin,^H3646 and put^H7760 in the wheat^H2406 in rows,^H7795 and the barley^H8184 in the appointed^H5567 place, and the spelt^H3698 in the border^H1367 thereof?

26 ♥ 📝 For his God^H430 doth instruct^H3256 him aright,^H4941 [and] doth teach^H3384 him.

27 ♥ 📝 For the fitches^H7100 are not threshed^H1758 with a sharp [threshing] instrument,^H2742 neither is a cart^H5699 wheel^H212 turned about^H5437 upon the cummin;^H3646 but the fitches^H7100 are beaten out^H2251 with a staff,^H4294 and the cummin^H3646 with a rod.^H7626

28 ♥ 📝 Bread^H3899 [grain] is ground;^H1854 for he will not be always^H5331 threshing^H156 it: and though the wheel^H1536 of his cart^H5699 and his horses^H6571 scatter^H2000 it, he doth not grind^H1854 it.

29 ♥ 📝 This also cometh forth^H3318 from Jehovah^H3068 of hosts,^H6635 who is wonderful^H6381 in counsel,^H6098 and excellent^H1431 in wisdom.^H8454
