Book 23 Isaiah Chapter 028

 

028:001Woe 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!

 

028:002Behold, 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.

 

028:003The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden
under feet:

 

028:004And 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.

 

028:005In 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,

 

028:006And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment,
and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.

 

028:007But 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.

 

028:008For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there
is no place clean.

 

028:009Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to
understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and
drawn from the breasts.

 

028:010For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line
upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

 

028:011For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to
this people.

 

028:012To 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.

 

028:013But 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.

 

028:014Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that
rule this people which is in Jerusalem.

 

028:015Because 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:

 

028:016Therefore 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.

 

028:017Judgment 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.

 

028:018And 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.

 

028:019From 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.

 

028:020For 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.

 

028:021For 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.

 

028:022Now 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.

 

028:023Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.

 

028:024Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break
the clods of his ground?

 

028:025When 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?

 

028:026For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach
him.

 

028:027For 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.

 

028:028Bread 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.

 

028:029This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, which is
wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.
