[1]WoeH1945 to the crownH5850 of prideH1348, to the drunkardsH7910 of EphraimH669, whose gloriousH6643 beautyH8597 is a fadingH5034[H8802] flowerH6731, which are on the headH7218 of the fatH8081 valleysH1516 of them that are overcomeH1986[H8803] with wineH3196!
[2]Behold, the LordH136 hath a mightyH2389 and strong oneH533, which as a tempestH2230 of hailH1259 and a destroyingH6986 stormH8178, as a floodH2230 of mightyH3524 watersH4325 overflowingH7857[H8802], shall cast downH3240[H8689] to the earthH776 with the handH3027.
[3]The crownH5850 of prideH1348, the drunkardsH7910 of EphraimH669, shall be troddenH7429[H8735] under feetH7272:
[4]And the gloriousH6643 beautyH8597, which is on the headH7218 of the fatH8081 valleyH1516, shall be a fadingH5034[H8802] flowerH6733, and as the hasty fruitH1061 before the summerH7019; which when he that lookethH7200[H8802] upon it seethH7200[H8799], while it is yet in his handH3709 he eateth it upH1104.[H8799]
[5]In that dayH3117 shall the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 be for a crownH5850 of gloryH6643, and for a diademH6843 of beautyH8597, unto the residueH7605 of his peopleH5971,
[6]And for a spiritH7307 of judgmentH4941 to him that sittethH3427[H8802] in judgmentH4941, and for strengthH1369 to them that turnH7725[H8688] the battleH4421 to the gateH8179.
[7]But theyH428 also have erredH7686[H8804] through wineH3196, and through strong drinkH7941 are out of the wayH8582[H8804]; the priestH3548 and the prophetH5030 have erredH7686[H8804] through strong drinkH7941, they are swallowed upH1104[H8738] ofH4480 wineH3196, they are out of the wayH8582[H8804] through strong drinkH7941; they errH7686[H8804] in visionH7203, they stumbleH6328[H8804] in judgmentH6417.
[8]For all tablesH7979 are fullH4390[H8804] of vomitH6892 and filthinessH6675, so that there is no place cleanH4725.
[9]Whom shall he teachH3384[H8686] knowledgeH1844? and whom shall he make to understandH995[H8799] doctrineH8052? them that are weanedH1580[H8803] from the milkH2461, and drawnH6267 from the breastsH7699.
[10]For preceptH6673 must be upon preceptH6673, preceptH6673 upon preceptH6673; lineH6957 upon lineH6957, lineH6957 upon lineH6957; here a littleH2191, and there a littleH2191:
[11]For with stammeringH3934 lipsH8193 and anotherH312 tongueH3956 will he speakH1696[H8762] to this peopleH5971.
[12]To whom he saidH559[H8804], This is the restH4496 wherewith ye may cause the wearyH5889 to restH5117[H8685]; and this is the refreshingH4774: yet they wouldH14[H8804] not hearH8085.[H8800]
[13]But the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 was unto them preceptH6673 upon preceptH6673, preceptH6673 upon preceptH6673; lineH6957 upon lineH6957, lineH6957 upon lineH6957; here a littleH2191, and there a littleH2191; that they might goH3212[H8799], and fallH3782[H8804] backwardH268, and be brokenH7665[H8738], and snaredH3369[H8738], and takenH3920.[H8738]
[14]Wherefore hearH8085[H8798] the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye scornfulH3944 menH582, that ruleH4910[H8802] this peopleH5971 which is in JerusalemH3389.
[15]Because ye have saidH559[H8804], We have madeH3772[H8804] a covenantH1285 with deathH4194, and with hellH7585 are weH6213[H8804] at agreementH2374; when the overflowingH7857[H8802] scourgeH7752[H8675][H7885] shall pass throughH5674[H8799][H8675][H5674][H8804], it shall not comeH935[H8799] unto us: for we have madeH7760[H8804] liesH3577 our refugeH4268, and under falsehoodH8267 have we hidH5641 ourselvesH8738:
[16]Therefore thus saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069, Behold, I layH3245[H8765] in ZionH6726 for a foundation a stoneH68, a triedH976 stoneH68, a preciousH3368 cornerH6438 stone, a sureH3245[H8716] foundationH4143: he that believethH539[H8688] shall not make hasteH2363.[H8686]
[17]JudgmentH4941 also will I layH7760[H8804] to the lineH6957, and righteousnessH6666 to the plummetH4949: and the hailH1259 shall sweep awayH3261[H8804] the refugeH4268 of liesH3577, and the watersH4325 shall overflowH7857[H8799] the hiding placeH5643.
[18]And your covenantH1285 with deathH4194 shall be disannulledH3722[H8795], and your agreementH2380 with hellH7585 shall not standH6965[H8799]; when the overflowingH7857[H8802] scourgeH7752 shall pass throughH5674[H8799], then ye shall be trodden down by itH4823.
[19]From the timeH1767 that it goeth forthH5674[H8800] it shall takeH3947[H8799] you: for morningH1242 by morningH1242 shall it pass overH5674[H8799], by dayH3117 and by nightH3915: and it shall be a vexationH2113 only to understandH995[H8687] the reportH8052.
[20]For the bedH4702 is shorterH7114[H8804] than that a man can stretchH8311[H8692] himself on it: and the coveringH4541 narrowerH6887[H8804] than that he can wrapH3664 himself in itH8692.
[21]For the LORDH3068 shall rise upH6965[H8799] as in mountH2022 PerazimH6559, he shall be wrothH7264[H8799] as in the valleyH6010 of GibeonH1391, that he may doH6213[H8800] his workH4639, his strangeH2114[H8801] workH4639; and bring to passH5647[H8800] his actH5656, his strangeH5237 actH5656.
[22]Now therefore be ye not mockersH3887[H8698], lest your bandsH4147 be made strongH2388[H8799]: for I have heardH8085[H8804] from the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 a consumptionH3617, even determinedH2782[H8737] upon the whole earthH776.
[23]Give ye earH238[H8685], and hearH8085[H8798] my voiceH6963; hearkenH7181[H8685], and hearH8085[H8798] my speechH565.
[24]Doth the plowmanH2790[H8802] plowH2790[H8799] all dayH3117 to sowH2232[H8800]? doth he openH6605[H8762] and break the clodsH7702[H8762] of his groundH127?
[25]When he hath made plainH7737[H8765] the faceH6440 thereof, doth he not cast abroadH6327[H8689] the fitchesH7100, and scatterH2236[H8799] the cumminH3646, and castH7760[H8804] in the principalH7795 wheatH2406 and the appointedH5567[H8737] barleyH8184 and the rieH3698 in their placeH1367?
[26]For his GodH430 doth instructH3256[H8765] him to discretionH4941, and doth teachH3384 himH8686.
[27]For the fitchesH7100 are not threshedH1758[H8714] with a threshing instrumentH2742, neither is a cartH5699 wheelH212 turned aboutH5437[H8714] upon the cumminH3646; but the fitchesH7100 are beaten outH2251[H8735] with a staffH4294, and the cumminH3646 with a rodH7626.
[28]BreadH3899 corn is bruisedH1854[H8714]; because he will not everH5331 be threshingH156[H8800][H1758][H8799] it, nor breakH2000[H8804] it with the wheelH1536 of his cartH5699, nor bruiseH1854[H8799] it with his horsemenH6571.
[29]This also cometh forthH3318[H8804] from the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, which is wonderfulH6381[H8689] in counselH6098, and excellentH1431[H8689] in workingH8454.
