Isaiah 28:28 (RV) Revised Version

1 Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley of them that are overcome with wine!
2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one; as a tempest of hail, a destroying storm, as a tempest of mighty waters overflowing, shall he cast down to the earth with the hand.
3 The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot:
4 and the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as the firstripe fig before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.
5 In 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:
6 and for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn back the battle at the gate.
7 But these also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are gone astray; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are gone astray through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
8 For all tables are full of vomit {cf15i and} filthiness, {cf15i so that there is} no place {cf15i clean}.
9 Whom will he teach knowledge? and whom will he make to understand the message? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?
10 For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little.
11 Nay, but by {cf15i men of} strange lips and with another tongue will he speak to this people:
12 to whom he said, This is the rest, give ye rest to him that is weary; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
13 Therefore shall the word of the LORD be unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem:
15 Because 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:
16 therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner {cf15i stone} of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 And I will make judgment the line, and righteousness the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And 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.
19 As often as it passeth through, it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night: and it shall be nought but terror to understand the message.
20 For 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.
21 For 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.
22 Now therefore be ye not scorners, lest your bands be made strong: for a consummation, and that determined, have I heard from the Lord, the LORD of hosts, upon the whole earth.
23 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
24 Doth the plowman plow continually to sow? doth he {cf15i continually} open and break the clods of his ground?
25 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and put in the wheat in rows and the barley in the appointed place and the spelt in the border thereof?
26 For his God doth instruct him aright, {cf15i and} doth teach him.
27 For the fitches are not threshed with a sharp {cf15i 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.
28 Bread {cf15i corn} is ground; for he will not ever be threshing it: and though the wheel of his cart and his horses scatter it, he doth not grind it.
29 This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.
1 Woe H1945 to the crown H5850 of pride, H1348 to the drunkards H7910 of Ephraim, H669 whose glorious H6643 beauty H8597 is a fading H5034 flower, H6731 which H834 are on H5921 the head H7218 of the fat H8081 valleys H1516 of them that are overcome H1986 with wine H3196 !
2 Behold H2009 , the Lord H136 hath a mighty H2389 and strong one, H533 which as a tempest H2230 of hail H1259 and a destroying H6986 storm, H8178 as a flood H2230 of mighty H3524 waters H4325 overflowing, H7857 shall cast down H5117 to the earth H776 with the hand. H3027
3 The crown H5850 of pride, H1348 the drunkards H7910 of Ephraim, H669 shall be trodden H7429 under feet: H7272
4 And the glorious H6643 beauty, H8597 which H834 is on H5921 the head H7218 of the fat H8081 valley, H1516 shall be H1961 a fading H5034 flower, H6733 and as the hasty fruit H1061 before H2962 the summer; H7019 which H834 when he that looketh H7200 upon it seeth, H7200 while it is yet H5750 in his hand H3709 he eateth it up. H1104
5 In that H1931 day H3117 shall the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 be H1961 for a crown H5850 of glory, H6643 and for a diadem H6843 of beauty, H8597 unto the residue H7605 of his people, H5971
6 And for a spirit H7307 of judgment H4941 to him that sitteth H3427 in H5921 judgment, H4941 and for strength H1369 to them that turn H7725 the battle H4421 to the gate. H8179
7 But they H428 also H1571 have erred H7686 through wine, H3196 and through strong drink H7941 are out of the way; H8582 the priest H3548 and the prophet H5030 have erred H7686 through strong drink, H7941 they are swallowed up H1104 of H4480 wine, H3196 they are out of the way H8582 through H4480 strong drink; H7941 they err H7686 in vision, H7203 they stumble H6328 in judgment. H6417
8 For H3588 all H3605 tables H7979 are full H4390 of vomit H6892 and filthiness, H6675 so that there is no H1097 place H4725 clean .
9 H853 Whom H4310 shall he teach H3384 knowledge H1844 ? and whom H4310 shall he make to understand H995 doctrine H8052 ? them that are weaned H1580 from the milk H4480 H2461 , and drawn H6267 from the breasts H4480 H7699 .
10 For H3588 precept H6673 must be upon precept, H6673 precept H6673 upon precept; H6673 line H6957 upon line, H6957 line H6957 upon line; H6957 here H8033 a little, H2191 and there H8033 a little: H2191
11 For H3588 with stammering H3934 lips H8193 and another H312 tongue H3956 will he speak H1696 to H413 this H2088 people. H5971
12 To H413 whom H834 he said, H559 This H2063 is the rest H4496 wherewith ye may cause the weary H5889 to rest; H5117 and this H2063 is the refreshing: H4774 yet they would H14 not H3808 hear. H8085
13 But the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 was H1961 unto them precept H6673 upon precept, H6673 precept H6673 upon precept; H6673 line H6957 upon line, H6957 line H6957 upon line; H6957 here H8033 a little, H2191 and there H8033 a little; H2191 that H4616 they might go, H1980 and fall H3782 backward, H268 and be broken, H7665 and snared, H3369 and taken. H3920
14 Wherefore H3651 hear H8085 the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 ye scornful H3944 men, H376 that rule H4910 this H2088 people H5971 which H834 is in Jerusalem. H3389
15 Because H3588 ye have said, H559 We have made H3772 a covenant H1285 with H854 death, H4194 and with H5973 hell H7585 are we at H6213 agreement; H2374 when H3588 the overflowing H7857 scourge H7752 shall pass through, H5674 it shall not H3808 come H935 unto us: for H3588 we have made H7760 lies H3577 our refuge, H4268 and under falsehood H8267 have we hid ourselves: H5641
16 Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD, H3069 Behold, H2009 I lay H3245 in Zion H6726 for a foundation H3245 a stone, H68 a tried H976 stone, H68 a precious H3368 corner H6438 stone , a sure H3245 foundation: H4143 he that believeth H539 shall not H3808 make haste. H2363
17 Judgment H4941 also will I lay H7760 to the line, H6957 and righteousness H6666 to the plummet: H4949 and the hail H1259 shall sweep away H3261 the refuge H4268 of lies, H3577 and the waters H4325 shall overflow H7857 the hiding place. H5643
18 And your covenant H1285 with H854 death H4194 shall be disannulled, H3722 and your agreement H2380 with H854 hell H7585 shall not H3808 stand; H6965 when H3588 the overflowing H7857 scourge H7752 shall pass through, H5674 then ye shall be H1961 trodden down H4823 by it.
19 From the time H4480 H1767 that it goeth forth H5674 it shall take H3947 you: for H3588 morning H1242 by morning H1242 shall it pass over, H5674 by day H3117 and by night: H3915 and it shall be H1961 a vexation H2113 only H7535 to understand H995 the report. H8052
20 For H3588 the bed H4702 is shorter H7114 than that a man can stretch himself H4480 H8311 on it : and the covering H4541 narrower H6887 than that he can wrap himself H3664 in it .
21 For H3588 the LORD H3068 shall rise up H6965 as in mount H2022 Perazim, H6556 he shall be wroth H7264 as in the valley H6010 of Gibeon, H1391 that he may do H6213 his work, H4639 his strange H2114 work; H4639 and bring to pass H5647 his act, H5656 his strange H5237 act. H5656
22 Now H6258 therefore be ye not mockers H3887 H408 , lest H6435 your bands H4147 be made strong: H2388 for H3588 I have heard H8085 from H4480 H854 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts H6635 a consumption, H3617 even determined H2782 upon H5921 the whole H3605 earth. H776
23 Give ye ear, H238 and hear H8085 my voice; H6963 hearken, H7181 and hear H8085 my speech. H565
24 Doth the plowman H2790 plow H2790 all H3605 day H3117 to sow H2232 ? doth he open H6605 and break the clods H7702 of his ground H127 ?
25 When H518 he hath made plain H7737 the face H6440 thereof , doth he not H3808 cast abroad H6327 the fitches, H7100 and scatter H2236 the cummin, H3646 and cast H7760 in the principal H7795 wheat H2406 and the appointed H5567 barley H8184 and the rye H3698 in their place H1367 ?
26 For his God H430 doth instruct H3256 him to discretion, H4941 and doth teach H3384 him.
27 For H3588 the fitches H7100 are not H3808 threshed H1758 with a threshing instrument, H2742 neither is a cart H5699 wheel H212 turned H5437 about upon H5921 the cummin; H3646 but H3588 the fitches H7100 are beaten out H2251 with a staff, H4294 and the cummin H3646 with a rod. H7626
28 Bread H3899 corn is bruised; H1854 because H3588 he will not H3808 ever H5331 be threshing H1758 it , nor break H2000 it with the wheel H1536 of his cart, H5699 nor H3808 bruise H1854 it with his horsemen. H6571
29 This H2063 also H1571 cometh forth H3318 from H4480 H5973 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 which is wonderful H6381 in counsel, H6098 and excellent H1431 in working. H8454
