Isaiah 28:1--29:24

28:1

Woe
<01945>

to the crown
<05850>

of pride
<01348>_,

to the drunkards
<07910>

of Ephraim
<0669>_,

whose glorious
<06643>

beauty
<08597>

[is] a fading
<05034> (8802)

flower
<06731>_,

which [are] on the head
<07218>

of the fat
<08081>

valleys
<01516>

of them that are overcome
<01986> (8803)

with wine
<03196>_!

{overcome: Heb. broken}

28:2

Behold, the Lord
<0136>

hath a mighty
<02389>

and strong one
<0533>_,

[which] as a tempest
<02230>

of hail
<01259>

[and] a destroying
<06986>

storm
<08178>_,

as a flood
<02230>

of mighty
<03524>

waters
<04325>

overflowing
<07857> (8802)_,

shall cast down
<03240> (8689)

to the earth
<0776>

with the hand
<03027>_.

28:3

The crown
<05850>

of pride
<01348>_,

the drunkards
<07910>

of Ephraim
<0669>_,

shall be trodden
<07429> (8735)

under feet
<07272>_:

{under...: Heb. with feet}

28:4

And the glorious
<06643>

beauty
<08597>_,

which [is] on the head
<07218>

of the fat
<08081>

valley
<01516>_,

shall be a fading
<05034> (8802)

flower
<06733>_,

[and] as the hasty fruit
<01061>

before the summer
<07019>_;

which [when] he that looketh
<07200> (8802)

upon it seeth
<07200> (8799)_,

while it is yet in his hand
<03709>

he eateth it up
<01104> (8799)_.

{eateth: Heb. swalloweth}

28:5

In that day
<03117>

shall the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

be for a crown
<05850>

of glory
<06643>_,

and for a diadem
<06843>

of beauty
<08597>_,

unto the residue
<07605>

of his people
<05971>_,

28:6

And for a spirit
<07307>

of judgment
<04941>

to him that sitteth
<03427> (8802)

in judgment
<04941>_,

and for strength
<01369>

to them that turn
<07725> (8688)

the battle
<04421>

to the gate
<08179>_.

28:7

But they
<0428>

also have erred
<07686> (8804)

through wine
<03196>_,

and through strong drink
<07941>

are out of the way
<08582> (8804)_;

the priest
<03548>

and the prophet
<05030>

have erred
<07686> (8804)

through strong drink
<07941>_,

they are swallowed up
<01104> (8738)

of
<04480>

wine
<03196>_,

they are out of the way
<08582> (8804)

through strong drink
<07941>_;

they err
<07686> (8804)

in vision
<07203>_,

they stumble
<06328> (8804)

[in] judgment
<06417>_.

28:8

For all tables
<07979>

are full
<04390> (8804)

of vomit
<06892>

[and] filthiness
<06675>_,

[so that there is] no place
<04725>

[clean].

28:9

Whom shall he teach
<03384> (8686)

knowledge
<01844>_?

and whom shall he make to understand
<0995> (8799)

doctrine
<08052>_?

[them that are] weaned
<01580> (8803)

from the milk
<02461>_,

[and] drawn
<06267>

from the breasts
<07699>_.

{doctrine: Heb. the hearing?}

28:10

For precept
<06673>

[must be] upon precept
<06673>_,

precept
<06673>

upon precept
<06673>_;

line
<06957>

upon line
<06957>_,

line
<06957>

upon line
<06957>_;

here a little
<02191>_,

[and] there a little
<02191>_:

{must be: or, hath been}

28:11

For with stammering
<03934>

lips
<08193>

and another
<0312>

tongue
<03956>

will he speak
<01696> (8762)

to this people
<05971>_.

{stammering...: Heb. stammerings of lip} {will...: or, he hath spoken}

28:12

To whom he said
<0559> (8804)_,

This [is] the rest
<04496>

[wherewith] ye may cause the weary
<05889>

to rest
<05117> (8685)_;

and this [is] the refreshing
<04774>_:

yet they would
<014> (8804)

not hear
<08085> (8800)_.

28:13

But the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

was unto them precept
<06673>

upon precept
<06673>_,

precept
<06673>

upon precept
<06673>_;

line
<06957>

upon line
<06957>_,

line
<06957>

upon line
<06957>_;

here a little
<02191>_,

[and] there a little
<02191>_;

that they might go
<03212> (8799)_,

and fall
<03782> (8804)

backward
<0268>_,

and be broken
<07665> (8738)_,

and snared
<03369> (8738)_,

and taken
<03920> (8738)_.

28:14

Wherefore hear
<08085> (8798)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

ye scornful
<03944>

men
<0582>_,

that rule
<04910> (8802)

this people
<05971>

which [is] in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

28:15

Because ye have said
<0559> (8804)_,

We have made
<03772> (8804)

a covenant
<01285>

with death
<04194>_,

and with hell
<07585>

are we
<06213> (8804)

at agreement
<02374>_;

when the overflowing
<07857> (8802)

scourge
<07752> (8675) <07885>

shall pass through
<05674> (8799) (8675) <05674> (8804)_,

it shall not come
<0935> (8799)

unto us: for we have made
<07760> (8804)

lies
<03577>

our refuge
<04268>_,

and under falsehood
<08267>

have we hid
<05641> (8738)

ourselves:

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>_.

28:22

Now therefore be ye not mockers
<03887> (8698)_,

lest your bands
<04147>

be made strong
<02388> (8799)_:

for I have heard
<08085> (8804)

from the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

of hosts
<06635>

a consumption
<03617>_,

even determined
<02782> (8737)

upon the whole earth
<0776>_.

28:23

Give ye ear
<0238> (8685)_,

and hear
<08085> (8798)

my voice
<06963>_;

hearken
<07181> (8685)_,

and hear
<08085> (8798)

my speech
<0565>_.

28:24

Doth the plowman
<02790> (8802)

plow
<02790> (8799)

all day
<03117>

to sow
<02232> (8800)_?

doth he open
<06605> (8762)

and break the clods
<07702> (8762)

of his ground
<0127>_?

28:25

When he hath made plain
<07737> (8765)

the face
<06440>

thereof, doth he not cast abroad
<06327> (8689)

the fitches
<07100>_,

and scatter
<02236> (8799)

the cummin
<03646>_,

and cast
<07760> (8804)

in the principal
<07795>

wheat
<02406>

and the appointed
<05567> (8737)

barley
<08184>

and the rie
<03698>

in their place
<01367>_?

{the principal...: or, the wheat in the principal place, and barley in the appointed place} {rie: or, spelt} {place: Heb. border?}

28:26

For his God
<0430>

doth instruct
<03256> (8765)

him to discretion
<04941>_,

[and] doth teach
<03384> (8686)

him. {For...: or, And he bindeth it in such sort as his God doth teach him}

28:27

For the fitches
<07100>

are not threshed
<01758> (8714)

with a threshing instrument
<02742>_,

neither is a cart
<05699>

wheel
<0212>

turned about
<05437> (8714)

upon the cummin
<03646>_;

but the fitches
<07100>

are beaten out
<02251> (8735)

with a staff
<04294>_,

and the cummin
<03646>

with a rod
<07626>_.

28:28

Bread
<03899>

[corn] is bruised
<01854> (8714)_;

because he will not ever
<05331>

be threshing
<0156> (8800) <01758> (8799)

it, nor break
<02000> (8804)

[it with] the wheel
<01536>

of his cart
<05699>_,

nor bruise
<01854> (8799)

it [with] his horsemen
<06571>_.

28:29

This also cometh forth
<03318> (8804)

from the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

[which] is wonderful
<06381> (8689)

in counsel
<06098>_,

[and] excellent
<01431> (8689)

in working
<08454>_.

29:1

Woe
<01945>

to Ariel
<0740>_,

the city
<07151>

[where] David
<01732>

dwelt
<02583> (8804)_!

add
<05595> (8798)

ye year
<08141>

to year
<08141>_;

let them kill
<05362> (8799)

sacrifices
<02282>_.

{Woe...: or, O Ariel, that is, the lion of God} {the city: or, of the city} {kill: Heb. cut off the heads of}

29:2

Yet I will distress
<06693> (8689)

Ariel
<0740>_,

and there shall be heaviness
<08386>

and sorrow
<0592>_:

and it shall be unto me as Ariel
<0740>_.

29:3

And I will camp
<02583> (8804)

against thee round about
<01754>_,

and will lay siege
<06696> (8804)

against thee with a mount
<04674>_,

and I will raise
<06965> (8689)

forts
<04694>

against thee.

29:4

And thou shalt be brought down
<08213> (8804)_,

[and] shalt speak
<01696> (8762)

out of the ground
<0776>_,

and thy speech
<0565>

shall be low
<07817> (8735)

out of the dust
<06083>_,

and thy voice
<06963>

shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit
<0178>_,

out of the ground
<0776>_,

and thy speech
<0565>

shall whisper
<06850> (8770)

out of the dust
<06083>_.

{whisper: Heb. peep, or, chirp}

29:5

Moreover the multitude
<01995>

of thy strangers
<02114> (8801)

shall be like small
<01851>

dust
<080>_,

and the multitude
<01995>

of the terrible ones
<06184>

[shall be] as chaff
<04671>

that passeth away
<05674> (8802)_:

yea, it shall be at an instant
<06621>

suddenly
<06597>_.

29:6

Thou shalt be visited
<06485> (8735)

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

with thunder
<07482>_,

and with earthquake
<07494>_,

and great
<01419>

noise
<06963>_,

with storm
<05492>

and tempest
<05591>_,

and the flame
<03851>

of devouring
<0398> (8802)

fire
<0784>_.

29:7

And the multitude
<01995>

of all the nations
<01471>

that fight
<06633> (8802)

against Ariel
<0740>_,

even all that fight
<06638> (8802)

against her and her munition
<04685>_,

and that distress
<06693> (8688)

her, shall be as a dream
<02472>

of a night
<03915>

vision
<02377>_.

29:8

It shall even be as when an hungry
<07457>

[man] dreameth
<02492> (8799)_,

and, behold, he eateth
<0398> (8802)_;

but he awaketh
<06974> (8689)_,

and his soul
<05315>

is empty
<07386>_:

or as when
<0834>

a thirsty man
<06771>

dreameth
<02492> (8799)_,

and, behold, he drinketh
<08354> (8802)_;

but he awaketh
<06974> (8689)_,

and, behold, [he is] faint
<05889>_,

and his soul
<05315>

hath appetite
<08264> (8802)_:

so shall the multitude
<01995>

of all the nations
<01471>

be, that fight
<06633> (8802)

against mount
<02022>

Zion
<06726>_.

29:9

Stay
<04102> (8697)

yourselves, and wonder
<08539> (8798)_;

cry ye out
<08173> (8697)_,

and cry
<08173> (8798)_:

they are drunken
<07937> (8804)_,

but not with wine
<03196>_;

they stagger
<05128> (8804)_,

but not with strong drink
<07941>_.

{cry ye...: or, take your pleasure, and riot}

29:10

For the LORD
<03068>

hath poured out
<05258> (8804)

upon you the spirit
<07307>

of deep sleep
<08639>_,

and hath closed
<06105> (8762)

your eyes
<05869>_:

the prophets
<05030>

and your rulers
<07218>_,

the seers
<02374>

hath he covered
<03680> (8765)_.

{rulers: Heb. heads}

29:11

And the vision
<02380>

of all is become unto you as the words
<01697>

of a book
<05612>

that is sealed
<02856> (8803)_,

which [men] deliver
<05414> (8799)

to one that is learned
<03045> (8802)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Read
<07121> (8798)

this, I pray thee: and he saith
<0559> (8804)_,

I cannot
<03201> (8799)_;

for it [is] sealed
<02856> (8803)_:

{book: or, letter}

29:12

And the book
<05612>

is delivered
<05414> (8738)

to him that is not learned
<03045> (8804) <05612>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Read
<07121> (8798)

this, I pray thee: and he saith
<0559> (8804)_,

I am not learned
<03045> (8804)_.

29:13

Wherefore the Lord
<0136>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Forasmuch
<03282>

as this people
<05971>

draw near
<05066> (8738)

[me] with their mouth
<06310>_,

and with their lips
<08193>

do honour
<03513> (8765)

me, but have removed
<07368> (0)

their heart
<03820>

far
<07368> (8765)

from me, and their fear
<03374>

toward me is taught
<03925> (8794)

by the precept
<04687>

of men
<0582>_:

29:14

Therefore, behold, I will proceed
<03254> (8802)

to do a marvellous work
<06381> (8687)

among this people
<05971>_,

[even] a marvellous work
<06381> (8687)

and a wonder
<06382>_:

for the wisdom
<02451>

of their wise
<02450>

[men] shall perish
<06> (8804)_,

and the understanding
<0998>

of their prudent
<0995> (8737)

[men] shall be hid
<05641> (8691)_.

{proceed: Heb. add}

29:15

Woe
<01945>

unto them that seek deep
<06009> (8688)

to hide
<05641> (8687)

their counsel
<06098>

from the LORD
<03068>_,

and their works
<04639>

are in the dark
<04285>_,

and they say
<0559> (8799)_,

Who seeth
<07200> (8802)

us? and who knoweth
<03045> (8802)

us?

29:16

Surely your turning of things upside down
<02017> (8800)

shall be esteemed
<02803> (8735)

as the potter's
<03335> (8802)

clay
<02563>_:

for shall the work
<04639>

say
<0559> (8799)

of him that made
<06213> (8802)

it, He made
<06213> (8804)

me not? or shall the thing framed
<03336>

say
<0559> (8804)

of him that framed
<03335> (8802)

it, He had no understanding
<0995> (8689)_?

29:17

[Is] it not yet a very
<04213>

little while
<04592>_,

and Lebanon
<03844>

shall be turned
<07725> (8804)

into a fruitful field
<03759>_,

and the fruitful field
<03759>

shall be esteemed
<02803> (8735)

as a forest
<03293>_?

29:18

And in that day
<03117>

shall the deaf
<02795>

hear
<08085> (8804)

the words
<01697>

of the book
<05612>_,

and the eyes
<05869>

of the blind
<05787>

shall see
<07200> (8799)

out of obscurity
<0652>_,

and out of darkness
<02822>_.

29:19

The meek
<06035>

also shall increase
<03254> (8804)

[their] joy
<08057>

in the LORD
<03068>_,

and the poor
<034>

among men
<0120>

shall rejoice
<01523> (8799)

in the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{increase: Heb. add}

29:20

For the terrible one
<06184>

is brought to nought
<0656> (8804)_,

and the scorner
<03887> (8801)

is consumed
<03615> (8804)_,

and all that watch
<08245> (8802)

for iniquity
<0205>

are cut off
<03772> (8738)_:

29:21

That make a man
<0120>

an offender
<02398> (8688)

for a word
<01697>_,

and lay a snare
<06983> (8799)

for him that reproveth
<03198> (8688)

in the gate
<08179>_,

and turn aside
<05186> (8686)

the just
<06662>

for a thing of nought
<08414>_.

29:22

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

who redeemed
<06299> (8804)

Abraham
<085>_,

concerning the house
<01004>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

Jacob
<03290>

shall not now be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_,

neither shall his face
<06440>

now wax pale
<02357> (8799)_.

29:23

But when he seeth
<07200> (8800)

his children
<03206>_,

the work
<04639>

of mine hands
<03027>_,

in the midst
<07130>

of him, they shall sanctify
<06942> (8686)

my name
<08034>_,

and sanctify
<06942> (8689)

the Holy One
<06918>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

and shall fear
<06206> (8686)

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_.

29:24

They also that erred
<08582> (8802)

in spirit
<07307>

shall come
<03045> (8804)

to understanding
<0998>_,

and they that murmured
<07279> (8803)

shall learn
<03925> (8799)

doctrine
<03948>_.

{come...: Heb. know understanding}
