Isaiah 28:24
chevron_left

1
Woe 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!
2
Behold, 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.
3
The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:
4
And 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.
5
In that day shall the
L
ORD
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 the battle to the gate.
7
But 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.
8
For all tables are full of vomit
and
filthiness,
so that there is
no place
clean
.
9
Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine?
them that are
weaned from the milk,
and
drawn from the breasts.
10
For precept
must be
upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little,
and
there a little:
11
For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
12
To 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.
13
But the word of the
L
ORD
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.
14
Wherefore hear the word of the
L
ORD
, 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
G
OD
, 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.
17
Judgment 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.
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
From 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.
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
L
ORD
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 mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord
G
OD
of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
23
Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he 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 cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?
26
For his God doth instruct him to discretion,
and
doth teach him.
27
For 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
Bread
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.
29
This also cometh forth from the
L
ORD
of hosts,
which
is wonderful in counsel,
and
excellent in working.
