Isaiah, Chapter 28

Woe to the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim,
And to the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
Which is at the head of the^afertile valley
Of those who are^bovercome with wine!

Behold, the Lord has a strong and mighty agent;
As a storm of hail, a tempest of destruction,
Like a storm of mighty overflowing waters,
He has cast it down to the earth with His hand.

The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim is trodden under foot.

⁴

And the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
Which is at the head of the^cfertile valley,
Will be like the first-ripe fig prior to summer,
Which^done sees,
And^eas soon as it is in his^fhand,
He swallows it.

⁵

In that day the LORD of hosts will become a beautiful crown
And a glorious diadem to the remnant of His people;

⁶

A spirit of justice for him who sits in judgment,
A strength to those who repel the^gonslaught at the gate.

⁷

And these also reel with wine and stagger from strong drink:
The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink,
They are confused by wine, they stagger from strong drink;
They reel while^hhaving visions,
They totter when rendering judgment.

⁸

For all the tables are full of filthy vomit, without a single clean place.

⁹

“To whom would He teach knowledge,
And to whom would He interpret the message?
Those just weaned from milk?
Those just taken from the breast?

¹⁰

“For He says,
‘ⁱOrder on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there.’”

¹¹

Indeed, He will speak to this people
Through stammering lips and a foreign tongue,

¹²

He who said to them, “Here is rest, give rest to the weary,”
And, “Here is repose,” but they would not listen.

¹³

So the word of the LORD to them will be,
“^jOrder on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there,”
That they may go and stumble backward, be broken, snared and taken captive.

¹⁴

Therefore, hear the word of the LORD, O scoffers,
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,

¹⁵

Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
And with^kSheol we have made a^lpact.
The overwhelming^mscourge will not reach us when it passes by,
For we have made falsehood our refuge and we have concealed ourselves with deception.”

¹⁶ Therefore thus says the LordⁿGOD,“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone,
A costly cornerstone for the foundation,^ofirmly placed.
He who believes in it will not be^pdisturbed.

¹⁷“I will make justice the measuring line
And righteousness the level;
Then hail will sweep away the refuge of lies
And the waters will overflow the secret place.

¹⁸“Your covenant with death will be^qcanceled,
And your pact with Sheol will not stand;
When the overwhelming scourge passes through,
Then you become its trampling place.

¹⁹“As often as it passes through, it will^rseize you;
For morning after morning it will pass through, anytime during the day or night,
And it will be^ssheer terror to understand^twhat it means.”

²⁰The bed is too short on which to stretch out,
And the blanket is too^usmall to wrap oneself in.

²¹For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim,
He will be stirred up as in the valley of Gibeon,
To do His task, His^vunusual task,
And to work His work, His^wextraordinary work.

²²And now do not carry on as scoffers,
Or your fetters will be made stronger;
For I have heard from the Lord^xGOD of hosts
Of decisive destruction on all the earth.

²³

Give ear and hear my voice,
Listen and hear my words.

²⁴

Does the^yfarmer plow^zcontinually to plant seed?
Does he continually^aaturn and harrow the ground?

²⁵

Does he not level its surface
And sow dill and scatter cummin
And^abplant wheat in rows,
Barley in its place and rye within its^acarea?

²⁶

For his God instructs and teaches him properly.

²⁷

For dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge,
Nor is the cartwheel^addriven over cummin;
But dill is beaten out with a rod, and cummin with a club.

²⁸

Grain for bread is crushed,
Indeed, he does not continue to thresh it forever.
Because the wheel of his cart and his horses eventually^aedamage it,
He does not thresh it longer.

²⁹

This also comes from the LORD of hosts,
Who has made His counsel wonderful and His wisdom great.
