28:1 Woe 1945 to the crown 5850 of pride 1348, to the drunkards 7910 of Ephraim 669, whose glorious 6643 beauty 8597 [is] a fading 5034 8802 flower 6731, which [are] on the head 7218 of the fat 8081 valleys 1516 of them that are overcome 1986 8803 with wine 3196!(overcome: Heb. broken)

28:2 Behold, the Lord 136 hath a mighty 2389 and strong one 533, [which] as a tempest 2230 of hail 1259 [and] a destroying 6986 storm 8178, as a flood 2230 of mighty 3524 waters 4325 overflowing 7857 8802, shall cast down 3240 8689 to the earth 776 with the hand 3027.

28:3 The crown 5850 of pride 1348, the drunkards 7910 of Ephraim 669, shall be trodden 7429 8735 under feet 7272:(under…: Heb. with feet)

28:4 And the glorious 6643 beauty 8597, which [is] on the head 7218 of the fat 8081 valley 1516, shall be a fading 5034 8802 flower 6733, [and] as the hasty fruit 1061 before the summer 7019; which [when] he that looketh 7200 8802 upon it seeth 7200 8799, while it is yet in his hand 3709 he eateth it up 1104 8799.(eateth: Heb. swalloweth)

28:5 In that day 3117 shall the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 be for a crown 5850 of glory 6643, and for a diadem 6843 of beauty 8597, unto the residue 7605 of his people 5971,

28:6 And for a spirit 7307 of judgment 4941 to him that sitteth 3427 8802 in judgment 4941, and for strength 1369 to them that turn 7725 8688 the battle 4421 to the gate 8179.

28:7 But they 428 also have erred 7686 8804 through wine 3196, and through strong drink 7941 are out of the way 8582 8804; the priest 3548 and the prophet 5030 have erred 7686 8804 through strong drink 7941, they are swallowed up 1104 8738 of 4480 wine 3196, they are out of the way 8582 8804 through strong drink 7941; they err 7686 8804 in vision 7203, they stumble 6328 8804 [in] judgment 6417.

28:8 For all tables 7979 are full 4390 8804 of vomit 6892 [and] filthiness 6675, [so that there is] no place 4725 [clean].

28:9 Whom shall he teach 3384 8686 knowledge 1844? and whom shall he make to understand 995 8799 doctrine 8052? [them that are] weaned 1580 8803 from the milk 2461, [and] drawn 6267 from the breasts 7699.(doctrine: Heb. the hearing?)

28:10 For precept 6673 [must be] upon precept 6673, precept 6673 upon precept 6673; line 6957 upon line 6957, line 6957 upon line 6957; here a little 2191, [and] there a little 2191:(must be: or, hath been)

28:11 For with stammering 3934 lips 8193 and another 312 tongue 3956 will he speak 1696 8762 to this people 5971.(stammering…: Heb. stammerings of lip)(will…: or, he hath spoken)

28:12 To whom he said 559 8804, This [is] the rest 4496 [wherewith] ye may cause the weary 5889 to rest 5117 8685; and this [is] the refreshing 4774: yet they would 14 8804 not hear 8085 8800.

28:13 But the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 was unto them precept 6673 upon precept 6673, precept 6673 upon precept 6673; line 6957 upon line 6957, line 6957 upon line 6957; here a little 2191, [and] there a little 2191; that they might go 3212 8799, and fall 3782 8804 backward 268, and be broken 7665 8738, and snared 3369 8738, and taken 3920 8738.

28:14 Wherefore hear 8085 8798 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, ye scornful 3944 men 582, that rule 4910 8802 this people 5971 which [is] in Jerusalem 3389.

28:15 Because ye have said 559 8804, We have made 3772 8804 a covenant 1285 with death 4194, and with hell 7585 are we 6213 8804 at agreement 2374; when the overflowing 7857 8802 scourge 7752 8675 7885 shall pass through 5674 8799 8675 5674 8804, it shall not come 935 8799 unto us: for we have made 7760 8804 lies 3577 our refuge 4268, and under falsehood 8267 have we hid 5641 8738 ourselves:

28:16 Therefore thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069, Behold, I lay 3245 8765 in Zion 6726 for a foundation a stone 68, a tried 976 stone 68, a precious 3368 corner 6438 [stone], a sure 3245 8716 foundation 4143: he that believeth 539 8688 shall not make haste 2363 8686.

28:17 Judgment 4941 also will I lay 7760 8804 to the line 6957, and righteousness 6666 to the plummet 4949: and the hail 1259 shall sweep away 3261 8804 the refuge 4268 of lies 3577, and the waters 4325 shall overflow 7857 8799 the hiding place 5643.

28:18 And your covenant 1285 with death 4194 shall be disannulled 3722 8795, and your agreement 2380 with hell 7585 shall not stand 6965 8799; when the overflowing 7857 8802 scourge 7752 shall pass through 5674 8799, then ye shall be trodden down 4823 by it.(trodden…: Heb. a treading down to it)

28:19 From the time 1767 that it goeth forth 5674 8800 it shall take 3947 8799 you: for morning 1242 by morning 1242 shall it pass over 5674 8799, by day 3117 and by night 3915: and it shall be a vexation 2113 only [to] understand 995 8687 the report 8052.(to…: or, when he shall make you to understand doctrine)

28:20 For the bed 4702 is shorter 7114 8804 than that [a man] can stretch 8311 8692 himself [on it]: and the covering 4541 narrower 6887 8804 than that he can wrap 3664 8692 himself [in it].

28:21 For the LORD 3068 shall rise up 6965 8799 as [in] mount 2022 Perazim 6559, he shall be wroth 7264 8799 as [in] the valley 6010 of Gibeon 1391, that he may do 6213 8800 his work 4639, his strange 2114 8801 work 4639; and bring to pass 5647 8800 his act 5656, his strange 5237 act 5656.

28:22 Now therefore be ye not mockers 3887 8698, lest your bands 4147 be made strong 2388 8799: for I have heard 8085 8804 from the Lord 136 GOD 3069 of hosts 6635 a consumption 3617, even determined 2782 8737 upon the whole earth 776.

28:23 Give ye ear 238 8685, and hear 8085 8798 my voice 6963; hearken 7181 8685, and hear 8085 8798 my speech 565.

28:24 Doth the plowman 2790 8802 plow 2790 8799 all day 3117 to sow 2232 8800? doth he open 6605 8762 and break the clods 7702 8762 of his ground 127?

28:25 When he hath made plain 7737 8765 the face 6440 thereof, doth he not cast abroad 6327 8689 the fitches 7100, and scatter 2236 8799 the cummin 3646, and cast 7760 8804 in the principal 7795 wheat 2406 and the appointed 5567 8737 barley 8184 and the rie 3698 in their place 1367?(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 430 doth instruct 3256 8765 him to discretion 4941, [and] doth teach 3384 8686 him.(For…: or, And he bindeth it in such sort as his God doth teach him)

28:27 For the fitches 7100 are not threshed 1758 8714 with a threshing instrument 2742, neither is a cart 5699 wheel 212 turned about 5437 8714 upon the cummin 3646; but the fitches 7100 are beaten out 2251 8735 with a staff 4294, and the cummin 3646 with a rod 7626.

28:28 Bread 3899 [corn] is bruised 1854 8714; because he will not ever 5331 be threshing 156 8800 1758 8799 it, nor break 2000 8804 [it with] the wheel 1536 of his cart 5699, nor bruise 1854 8799 it [with] his horsemen 6571.

28:29 This also cometh forth 3318 8804 from the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, [which] is wonderful 6381 8689 in counsel 6098, [and] excellent 1431 8689 in working 8454.
