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 flower 6731, which are on the head 7218 of the fat 8081 valleys 1516 of them that are overcome 1986 with wine 3196!
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, shall cast down 3240 to the earth 776 with the hand 3027.
3 The crown 5850 of pride 1348, the drunkards 7910 of Ephraim 669, shall be trodden 7429 under feet 7272:
4 And the glorious 6643 beauty 8597, which is on the head 7218 of the fat 8081 valley 1516, shall be a fading 5034 flower 6733, and as the hasty fruit 1061 before the summer 7019; which when he that looketh 7200 upon it seeth 7200, while it is yet in his hand 3709 he eateth it up 1104.
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,
6 And for a spirit 7307 of judgment 4941 to him that sitteth 3427 in judgment 4941, and for strength 1369 to them that turn 7725 the battle 4421 to the gate 8179.
7 But they 428 also have erred 7686 through wine 3196, and through strong drink 7941 are out of the way 8582; the priest 3548 and the prophet 5030 have erred 7686 through strong drink 7941, they are swallowed up 1104 of 4480 wine 3196, they are out of the way 8582 through strong drink 7941; they err 7686 in vision 7203, they stumble 6328 in judgment 6417.
8 For all tables 7979 are full 4390 of vomit 6892 and filthiness 6675, so that there is no place 4725 clean.
9 Whom shall he teach 3384 knowledge 1844? and whom shall he make to understand 995 doctrine 8052? them that are weaned 1580 from the milk 2461, and drawn 6267 from the breasts 7699.
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:
11 For with stammering 3934 lips 8193 and another 312 tongue 3956 will he speak 1696 to this people 5971.
12 To whom he said 559, This is the rest 4496 wherewith ye may cause the weary 5889 to rest 5117; and this is the refreshing 4774: yet they would 14 not hear 8085.
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, and fall 3782 backward 268, and be broken 7665, and snared 3369, and taken 3920.
14 Wherefore hear 8085 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, ye scornful 3944 men 582, that rule 4910 this people 5971 which is in Jerusalem 3389.
15 Because ye have said 559, We have made 3772 a covenant 1285 with death 4194, and with hell 7585 are we 6213 at agreement 2374; when the overflowing 7857 scourge 7752 7885 shall pass through 5674 5674, it shall not come 935 unto us: for we have made 7760 lies 3577 our refuge 4268, and under falsehood 8267 have we hid 5641 ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3069, Behold, I lay 3245 in Zion 6726 for a foundation a stone 68, a tried 976 stone 68, a precious 3368 corner 6438 stone, a sure 3245 foundation 4143: he that believeth 539 shall not make haste 2363.
17 Judgment 4941 also will I lay 7760 to the line 6957, and righteousness 6666 to the plummet 4949: and the hail 1259 shall sweep away 3261 the refuge 4268 of lies 3577, and the waters 4325 shall overflow 7857 the hiding place 5643.
18 And your covenant 1285 with death 4194 shall be disannulled 3722, and your agreement 2380 with hell 7585 shall not stand 6965; when the overflowing 7857 scourge 7752 shall pass through 5674, then ye shall be trodden down 4823 by it.
19 From the time 1767 that it goeth forth 5674 it shall take 3947 you: for morning 1242 by morning 1242 shall it pass over 5674, by day 3117 and by night 3915: and it shall be a vexation 2113 only to understand 995 the report 8052.
20 For the bed 4702 is shorter 7114 than that a man can stretch 8311 himself on it: and the covering 4541 narrower 6887 than that he can wrap 3664 himself in it.
21 For the LORD 3068 shall rise up 6965 as in mount 2022 Perazim 6559, he shall be wroth 7264 as in the valley 6010 of Gibeon 1391, that he may do 6213 his work 4639, his strange 2114 work 4639; and bring to pass 5647 his act 5656, his strange 5237 act 5656.
22 Now therefore be ye not mockers 3887, lest your bands 4147 be made strong 2388: for I have heard 8085 from the Lord 136 GOD 3069 of hosts 6635 a consumption 3617, even determined 2782 upon the whole earth 776.
23 Give ye ear 238, and hear 8085 my voice 6963; hearken 7181, and hear 8085 my speech 565.
24 Doth the plowman 2790 plow 2790 all day 3117 to sow 2232? doth he open 6605 and break the clods 7702 of his ground 127?
25 When he hath made plain 7737 the face 6440 thereof, doth he not cast abroad 6327 the fitches 7100, and scatter 2236 the cummin 3646, and cast 7760 in the principal 7795 wheat 2406 and the appointed 5567 barley 8184 and the rie 3698 in their place 1367?
26 For his God 430 doth instruct 3256 him to discretion 4941, and doth teach 3384 him.
27 For the fitches 7100 are not threshed 1758 with a threshing instrument 2742, neither is a cart 5699 wheel 212 turned about 5437 upon the cummin 3646; but the fitches 7100 are beaten out 2251 with a staff 4294, and the cummin 3646 with a rod 7626.
28 Bread 3899 corn is bruised 1854; because he will not ever 5331 be threshing 156 1758 it, nor break 2000 it with the wheel 1536 of his cart 5699, nor bruise 1854 it with his horsemen 6571.
29 This also cometh forth 3318 from the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, which is wonderful 6381 in counsel 6098, and excellent 1431 in working 8454.
