Judgment on Ephraim and Jerusalem

28Ah, the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim, and the fading flower of its glorious beauty, which is on the head of the rich valley of those overcome with wine!H1945H5850H1348H7910H669H6643H8597H5034H6731H7218H8081H1516H1986H3196 2Behold, the Lord has one who is mighty and strong; like a storm of hail, a destroying tempest, like a storm of mighty, overflowing waters, he casts down to the earth with his hand.H136H2389H533H2230H1259H6986H8178H2230H3524H4325H7857H3240H776H3027 3The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim will be trodden underfoot;H5850H1348H7910H669H7429H7272 4and the fading flower of its glorious beauty, which is on the head of the rich valley, will be like a first-ripe fig before the summer: when someone sees it, he swallows it as soon as it is in his hand.H6643H8597H7218H8081H1516H5034H6733H1061H7019H7200H7200H3709H1104 5In that day the LORD of hosts will be a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, to the remnant of his people,H3117H3068H6635H5850H6643H6843H8597H7605H5971 6and a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.H7307H4941H3427H4941H1369H7725H4421H8179 7These also reel with wine and stagger with strong drink; the priest and the prophet reel with strong drink, they are swallowed by wine, they stagger with strong drink, they reel in vision, they stumble in giving judgment.H428H7686H3196H7941H8582H3548H5030H7686H7941H1104H4480H3196H8582H7941H7686H7203H6328H6417 8For all tables are full of filthy vomit, with no space left.H7979H4390H6892H6675H4725 9"To whom will he teach knowledge, and to whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned from the milk, those taken from the breast?H3384H1844H995H8052H1580H2461H6267H7699 10For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little."H6673H6673H6673H6673H6957H6957H6957H6957H2191H2191 11For by people of strange lips and with a foreign tongue the LORD will speak to this people,H3934H8193H312H3956H1696H5971 12to whom he has said, "This is rest; give rest to the weary; and this is repose"; yet they would not hear.H559H4496H5889H5117H4774H14H8085 13And the word of the LORD will be to 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.H1697H3068H6673H6673H6673H6673H6957H6957H6957H6957H2191H2191H3212H3782H268H7665H3369H3920

A Cornerstone in Zion

14Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scoffers, who rule this people in Jerusalem!H8085H1697H3068H3944H582H4910H5971H3389 15Because you have said, "We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol we have an agreement, when the overwhelming whip passes through it will not come to us, for we have made lies our refuge, and in falsehood we have taken shelter";H559H3772H1285H4194H7585H6213H2374H7857H7752H7885H5674H5674H935H7760H3577H4268H8267H5641 16therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I am the one who has laid as a foundation in Zion, a stone, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation: 'Whoever believes will not be in haste.'H559H136H3069H3245H6726H68H976H68H3368H6438H3245H4143H539H2363 17And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plumb line; and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and waters will overwhelm the shelter."H4941H7760H6957H6666H4949H1259H3261H4268H3577H4325H7857H5643 18Then your covenant with death will be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand; when the overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be beaten down by it.H1285H4194H3722H2380H7585H6965H7857H7752H5674H4823 19As often as it passes through it will take you; for morning by morning it will pass through, by day and by night; and it will be sheer terror to understand the message.H1767H5674H3947H1242H1242H5674H3117H3915H2113H995H8052 20For the bed is too short to stretch oneself on, and the covering too narrow to wrap oneself in.H4702H7114H8311H4541H6887H3664 21For the LORD will rise up as on Mount Perazim; as in the Valley of Gibeon he will be roused; to do his deed—strange is his deed! and to work his work—alien is his work!H3068H6965H2022H6559H7264H6010H1391H6213H4639H2114H4639H5647H5656H5237H5656 22Now therefore do not scoff, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard a decree of destruction from the Lord GOD of hosts against the whole land.H3887H4147H2388H8085H136H3069H6635H3617H2782H776 23Give ear, and hear my voice; give attention, and hear my speech.H238H8085H6963H7181H8085H565 24Does he who plows for sowing plow continually? Does he continually open and harrow his ground?H2790H2790H3117H2232H6605H7702H127 25When he has leveled its surface, does he not scatter dill, sow cumin, and put in wheat in rows and barley in its proper place, and emmer as the border?H7737H6440H6327H7100H2236H3646H7760H7795H2406H5567H8184H3698H1367 26For he is rightly instructed; his God teaches him.H430H3256H4941H3384 27Dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge, nor is a cart wheel rolled over cumin, but dill is beaten out with a stick, and cumin with a rod.H7100H1758H2742H5699H212H5437H3646H7100H2251H4294H3646H7626 28Does one crush grain for bread? No, he does not thresh it forever; when he drives his cart wheel over it with his horses, he does not crush it.H3899H1854H5331H156H1758H2000H1536H5699H1854H6571 29This also comes from the LORD of hosts; he is wonderful in counsel and excellent in wisdom.H3318H3068H6635H6381H6098H1431H8454
