King James Version
Wo
`
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 .
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 !
Lo
, 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.
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.
By
feet
trodden
down
is
the proud
crown of the drunkards of Ephraim,
The crown of pride,
the drunkards of Ephraim, shall
be
trodden
under
feet:
And 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.
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
.
In that day is
Jehovah
of Hosts For a crown of beauty
, and for a diadem of glory
, To
the remnant
of His people .
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 ,
And 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.
And for a spirit of judgment to him that
sitteth
in judgment, and for strength
to them
that
turn
the battle to the gate.
And
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
.
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
.
For all tables have
been
full of vomit, Filth
--
without
place !
For all tables are
full of vomit and
filthiness
, so
that
there
is
no
place clean.
By
whom doth
He teach knowledge? And by
whom doth
He cause
to understand the
report
? The
weaned from milk, the
removed
from breasts ,
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 .
For rule
`is'
on
rule,
rule
on
rule
, line on
line, line on
line ,
A little here
, a little there,
For precept
must
be
upon
precept
, precept
upon
precept;
line upon
line, line upon
line ;
here
a little, and
there
a little :
For by
scorned
lip,
and by
another tongue ,
Doth
He speak unto
this people.
For with
stammering
lips
and another tongue will
he speak to
this people.
Unto
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 ,
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 .
And
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
.
But
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
.
Therefore,
hear a
word of Jehovah
, ye men of
scorning
, Ruling
this people that
`
is '
in Jerusalem.
Wherefore
hear the
word of the
LORD
, ye scornful
men, that
rule
this people which
is in Jerusalem.
Because 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.'
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:
Therefore ,
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.
Therefore 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.
And
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.
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
.
And 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
.
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.
From 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.
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.
For 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.
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
.
For 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
. '
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
.
And
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
.
Now 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
.
Give ear, and hear my voice ,
Attend
, and hear my saying:
Give ye
ear, and hear my voice ;
hearken
, and hear my speech.
The whole
day plougheth
the
ploughman
to sow? He openeth
and harroweth
his ground !
Doth
the plowman
plow
all
day to sow? doth
he open
and break
the
clods
of
his ground ?
Hath
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
?
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
?
And
instruct
him
for judgment
doth
his God, He
doth direct
him.
For his God doth
instruct
him
to
discretion
, and
doth teach
him.
For 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.
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.
Bread -`
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
.
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
.
Even
this from Jehovah
of Hosts hath
gone
out
, He
hath
made
counsel
wonderful, He
hath
made
wisdom
great!
This also
cometh
forth
from the
LORD
of hosts, which
is
wonderful in
counsel
, and
excellent
in
working.
