Isaiah - Chapter: 28

>
28:1Woe 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!
28:2Behold, 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.
28:3The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:
28:4And 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.
28:5In 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,
28:6And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
28:7But 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.
28:8For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.
28:9Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
28:10For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
28:11For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
28:12To 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.
28:13But 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.
28:14Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
28:15Because 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:
28:16Therefore 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.
28:17Judgment 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.
28:18And 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.
28:19From 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.
28:20For 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.
28:21For 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.
28:22Now 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.
28:23Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
28:24Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?
28:25When 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?
28:26For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.
28:27For 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.
28:28Bread 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.
28:29This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.

 

28:1הוי עטרת גאות שׁכרי אפרים וציץ נבל צבי תפארתו אשׁר על ראשׁ גיא שׁמנים הלומי יין׃
28:2הנה חזק ואמץ לאדני כזרם ברד שׂער קטב כזרם מים כבירים שׁטפים הניח לארץ ביד׃
28:3ברגלים תרמסנה עטרת גאות שׁכורי אפרים׃
28:4והיתה ציצת נבל צבי תפארתו אשׁר על ראשׁ גיא שׁמנים כבכורה בטרם קיץ אשׁר יראה הראה אותה בעודה בכפו יבלענה׃
28:5ביום ההוא יהיה יהוה צבאות לעטרת צבי ולצפירת תפארה לשׁאר עמו׃
28:6ולרוח משׁפט ליושׁב על המשׁפט ולגבורה משׁיבי מלחמה שׁערה׃
28:7וגם אלה ביין שׁגו ובשׁכר תעו כהן ונביא שׁגו בשׁכר נבלעו מן היין תעו מן השׁכר שׁגו בראה פקו פליליה׃
28:8כי כל שׁלחנות מלאו קיא צאה בלי מקום׃
28:9את מי יורה דעה ואת מי יבין שׁמועה גמולי מחלב עתיקי משׁדים׃
28:10כי צו לצו צו לצו קו לקו קו לקו זעיר שׁם זעיר שׁם׃
28:11כי בלעגי שׂפה ובלשׁון אחרת ידבר אל העם הזה׃
28:12אשׁר אמר אליהם זאת המנוחה הניחו לעיף וזאת המרגעה ולא אבוא שׁמוע׃
28:13והיה להם דבר יהוה צו לצו צו לצו קו לקו קו לקו זעיר שׁם זעיר שׁם למען ילכו וכשׁלו אחור ונשׁברו ונוקשׁו ונלכדו׃
28:14לכן שׁמעו דבר יהוה אנשׁי לצון משׁלי העם הזה אשׁר בירושׁלם׃
28:15כי אמרתם כרתנו ברית את מות ועם שׁאול עשׂינו חזה שׁיט שׁוטף כי עבר לא יבואנו כי שׂמנו כזב מחסנו ובשׁקר נסתרנו׃
28:16לכן כה אמר אדני יהוה הנני יסד בציון אבן אבן בחן פנת יקרת מוסד מוסד המאמין לא יחישׁ׃
28:17ושׂמתי משׁפט לקו וצדקה למשׁקלת ויעה ברד מחסה כזב וסתר מים ישׁטפו׃
28:18וכפר בריתכם את מות וחזותכם את שׁאול לא תקום שׁוט שׁוטף כי יעבר והייתם לו למרמס׃
28:19מדי עברו יקח אתכם כי בבקר בבקר יעבר ביום ובלילה והיה רק זועה הבין שׁמועה׃
28:20כי קצר המצע מהשׂתרע והמסכה צרה כהתכנס׃
28:21כי כהר פרצים יקום יהוה כעמק בגבעון ירגז לעשׂות מעשׂהו זר מעשׂהו ולעבד עבדתו נכריה עבדתו׃
28:22ועתה אל תתלוצצו פן יחזקו מוסריכם כי כלה ונחרצה שׁמעתי מאת אדני יהוה צבאות על כל הארץ׃
28:23האזינו ושׁמעו קולי הקשׁיבו ושׁמעו אמרתי׃
28:24הכל היום יחרשׁ החרשׁ לזרע יפתח וישׂדד אדמתו׃
28:25הלוא אם שׁוה פניה והפיץ קצח וכמן יזרק ושׂם חטה שׂורה ושׂערה נסמן וכסמת גבלתו׃
28:26ויסרו למשׁפט אלהיו יורנו׃
28:27כי לא בחרוץ יודשׁ קצח ואופן עגלה על כמן יוסב כי במטה יחבט קצח וכמן בשׁבט׃
28:28לחם יודק כי לא לנצח אדושׁ ידושׁנו והמם גלגל עגלתו ופרשׁיו לא ידקנו׃
28:29גם זאת מעם יהוה צבאות יצאה הפליא עצה הגדיל תושׁיה׃

 

28:1Wo `to' the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim. And the fading flower of the beauty of his glory, That `is' on the head of the fat valley of the broken down of wine.
28:2Lo, a mighty and strong one `is' to the Lord, As a storm of hail -- a destructive shower, As an inundation of mighty waters overflowing, He cast down to the earth with the hand.
28:3By feet trodden down is the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim,
28:4And the fading flower of the beauty of his glory That `is' on the head of the fat valley, Hath been as its first-fruit before summer, That its beholder seeth, While it `is' yet in his hand he swalloweth it.
28:5In that day is Jehovah of Hosts For a crown of beauty, and for a diadem of glory, To the remnant of His people.
28:6And for a spirit of judgment To him who is sitting in the judgment, And for might `to' those turning back the battle to the gate.
28:7And even these through wine have erred, And through strong drink have wandered, Priest and prophet erred through strong drink, They have been swallowed up of the wine, They wandered because of the strong drink, They have erred in seeing, They have stumbled judicially.
28:8For all tables have been full of vomit, Filth -- without place!
28:9By whom doth He teach knowledge? And by whom doth He cause to understand the report? The weaned from milk, the removed from breasts,
28:10For rule `is' on rule, rule on rule, line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there,
28:11For by scorned lip, and by another tongue, Doth He speak unto this people.
28:12Unto whom He hath said, `This `is' the rest, give ye rest to the weary, And this -- the refreshing:' And they have not been willing to hear,
28:13And to whom a word of Jehovah hath been, Rule on rule, rule on rule, line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there, So that they go and have stumbled backward, And been broken, and snared, and captured.
28:14Therefore, hear a word of Jehovah, ye men of scorning, Ruling this people that `is' in Jerusalem.
28:15Because ye have said: `We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we have made a provision, An overflowing scourge, when it passeth over, Doth not meet us, Though we have made a lie our refuge, And in falsehood have been hidden.'
28:16Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: `Lo, I am laying a foundation in Zion, A stone -- a tried stone, a corner stone precious, a settled foundation, He who is believing doth not make haste.
28:17And I have put judgment for a line, And righteousness for a plummet, And sweep away doth hail the refuge of lies, And the secret hiding-place do waters overflow.
28:18And disannulled hath been your covenant with death, And your provision with Sheol doth not stand, An overflowing scourge, when it passeth over, Then ye have been to it for a treading-place.
28:19From the fulness of its passing over it taketh you, For morning by morning it passeth over, By day and by night, And it hath been only a trembling to consider the report.
28:20For shorter hath been the bed Than to stretch one's self out in, And the covering hath been narrower Than to wrap one's self up in.
28:21For as `at' mount Perazim rise doth Jehovah, As `at' the valley in Gibeon He is troubled, To do His work -- strange `is' His work, And to do His deed -- strange `is' His deed.'
28:22And now, show not yourselves scorners, Lest strong be your bands, For a consumption, that is determined, I have heard, by the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, `Is' for all the land.
28:23Give ear, and hear my voice, Attend, and hear my saying:
28:24The whole day plougheth the ploughman to sow? He openeth and harroweth his ground!
28:25Hath he not, if he have made level its face, Then scattered fitches, and cummin sprinkle, And hath placed the principal wheat, And the appointed barley, And the rie `in' its own border?
28:26And instruct him for judgment doth his God, He doth direct him.
28:27For not with a sharp-pointed thing threshed are fitches, And the wheel of a cart on cummin turned round, For with a staff beaten out are fitches, And cummin with a rod.
28:28Bread-`corn' is beaten small, For not for ever doth he sorely thresh it, Nor crushed `it' hath a wheel of his cart, Nor do his hoofs beat it small.
28:29Even this from Jehovah of Hosts hath gone out, He hath made counsel wonderful, He hath made wisdom great!
