{scattered...: or, outspread and polished} {meted...: or, that meteth out and treadeth down: Heb. of line, line, and treading under foot} {have...: or, despise}

Isaiah 28:16-21

28:16

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

Behold, I lay
<03245> (8765)

in Zion
<06726>

for a foundation a stone
<068>_,

a tried
<0976>

stone
<068>_,

a precious
<03368>

corner
<06438>

[stone], a sure
<03245> (8716)

foundation
<04143>_:

he that believeth
<0539> (8688)

shall not make haste
<02363> (8686)_.

28:17

Judgment
<04941>

also will I lay
<07760> (8804)

to the line
<06957>_,

and righteousness
<06666>

to the plummet
<04949>_:

and the hail
<01259>

shall sweep away
<03261> (8804)

the refuge
<04268>

of lies
<03577>_,

and the waters
<04325>

shall overflow
<07857> (8799)

the hiding place
<05643>_.

28:18

And your covenant
<01285>

with death
<04194>

shall be disannulled
<03722> (8795)_,

and your agreement
<02380>

with hell
<07585>

shall not stand
<06965> (8799)_;

when the overflowing
<07857> (8802)

scourge
<07752>

shall pass through
<05674> (8799)_,

then ye shall be trodden down
<04823>

by it. {trodden...: Heb. a treading down to it}

28:19

From the time
<01767>

that it goeth forth
<05674> (8800)

it shall take
<03947> (8799)

you: for morning
<01242>

by morning
<01242>

shall it pass over
<05674> (8799)_,

by day
<03117>

and by night
<03915>_:

and it shall be a vexation
<02113>

only [to] understand
<0995> (8687)

the report
<08052>_.

{to...: or, when he shall make you to understand doctrine}

28:20

For the bed
<04702>

is shorter
<07114> (8804)

than that [a man] can stretch
<08311> (8692)

himself [on it]: and the covering
<04541>

narrower
<06887> (8804)

than that he can wrap
<03664> (8692)

himself [in it].

28:21

For the LORD
<03068>

shall rise up
<06965> (8799)

as [in] mount
<02022>

Perazim
<06559>_,

he shall be wroth
<07264> (8799)

as [in] the valley
<06010>

of Gibeon
<01391>_,

that he may do
<06213> (8800)

his work
<04639>_,

his strange
<02114> (8801)

work
<04639>_;

and bring to pass
<05647> (8800)

his act
<05656>_,

his strange
<05237>

act
<05656>_.

Habakkuk 2:5-8

2:5

Yea also, because he transgresseth
<0898> (8802)

by wine
<03196>_,

[he is] a proud
<03093>

man
<01397>_,

neither keepeth at home
<05115> (8799)_,

who enlargeth
<07337> (8689)

his desire
<05315>

as hell
<07585>_,

and [is] as death
<04194>_,

and cannot be satisfied
<07646> (8799)_,

but gathereth
<0622> (8799)

unto him all nations
<01471>_,

and heapeth
<06908> (8799)

unto him all people
<05971>_:

{Yea...: or, How much more}

2:6

Shall not all these take up
<05375> (8799)

a parable
<04912>

against him, and a taunting
<04426>

proverb
<02420>

against him, and say
<0559> (8799)_,

Woe
<01945>

to him that increaseth
<07235> (8688)

[that which is] not his! how long? and to him that ladeth
<03513> (8688)

himself with thick clay
<05671>_!

{Woe...: or, Ho, he}

2:7

Shall they not rise up
<06965> (8799)

suddenly
<06621>

that shall bite
<05391> (8802)

thee, and awake
<03364> (8799)

that shall vex
<02111> (8772)

thee, and thou shalt be for booties
<04933>

unto them?

2:8

Because thou hast spoiled
<07997> (8804)

many
<07227>

nations
<01471>_,

all the remnant
<03499>

of the people
<05971>

shall spoil
<07997> (8799)

thee; because of men's
<0120>

blood
<01818>_,

and [for] the violence
<02555>

of the land
<0776>_,

of the city
<07151>_,

and of all that dwell
<03427> (8802)

therein. {blood: Heb. bloods}
