[HNV] Isaiah 28, World English Bible: Messianic Edition
Isaiah, starting at chapter 28
{28:1} Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to
the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the
fertile valley of those who are overcome with wine! {28:2} Behold, the
Lord has a mighty and strong one. Like a storm of hail, a destroying
storm, and like a storm of mighty waters overflowing, he will cast
them down to the earth with his hand. {28:3} The crown of pride of the
drunkards of Ephraim will be trodden under foot. {28:4} The fading
flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile
valley, shall be like the first-ripe fig before the summer; which
someone picks and eats as soon as he sees it. {28:5} In that day, the
LORD of Hosts will become a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, to
the residue of his people; {28:6} and a spirit of justice to him who
sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at
the gate. {28:7} They also reel with wine, and stagger with strong
drink. The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink. They are
swallowed up by wine. They stagger with strong drink. They err in
vision. They stumble in judgment. {28:8} For all tables are completely
full of filthy vomit and filthiness. {28:9} Whom will he teach
knowledge? To whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned
from the milk, and drawn from the breasts? {28:10} For it is precept
on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a
little, there a little. {28:11} But he will speak to this nation with
stammering lips and in another language; {28:12} to whom he said,
"This is the resting place. Give rest to weary"; and "This is the
refreshing"; yet they would not hear. {28:13} Therefore the word of
the LORD will be to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line
on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they may
go, fall backward, be broken, be snared, and be taken. {28:14}
Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scoffers, that rule this
people in Jerusalem: {28:15} "Because you have said, 'We have made a
covenant with death, and with [1>]Sheol[<1] are we in agreement. When
the overflowing scourge passes through, it won't come to us; for we
have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under
falsehood.'" {28:16} Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I lay
in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious
cornerstone of a sure foundation. He who believes shall not act
hastily. {28:17} I will make justice the measuring line, and
righteousness the plumb line. The hail will sweep away the refuge of
lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place. {28:18} Your
covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with
[2>]Sheol[<2] shall not stand. When the overflowing scourge passes
through, then you will be trampled down by it. {28:19} As often as it
passes through, it will seize you; for morning by morning it will pass
through, by day and by night; and it will be nothing but terror to
understand the message." {28:20} For the bed is too short to stretch
out on, and the blanket is too narrow to wrap oneself in. {28:21} For
the LORD will rise up as on Mount Perazim. He will be angry as in the
valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his unusual work, and bring
to pass his act, his extraordinary act. {28:22} Now therefore don't be
scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard a decree of
destruction from the Lord, the LORD of Hosts, on the whole earth.
{28:23} Give ear, and hear my voice! Listen, and hear my speech!
{28:24} Does he who plows to sow plow continually? Does he keep
turning the soil and breaking the clods? {28:25} When he has leveled
its surface, doesn't he plant the dill, and scatter the cumin seed,
and put in the wheat in rows, the barley in the appointed place, and
the spelt in its place? {28:26} For his God instructs him in right
judgment, and teaches him. {28:27} For the dill are not threshed with
a sharp instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned over the cumin; but
the dill is beaten out with a stick, and the cumin with a rod. {28:28}
Bread flour must be ground; so he will not always be threshing it.
Although he drives the wheel of his threshing cart over it, his horses
don't grind it. {28:29} This also comes forth from the LORD of Hosts,
who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.
{29:1} Woe to Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year
to year; let the feasts come around; {29:2} then I will distress
Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me
as an [3>]altar hearth[<3]. {29:3} I will encamp against you all
around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will
raise siege works against you. {29:4} You will be brought down, and
will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust.

understand the message." {28:20} For the bed is too short to stretch

the LORD will rise up as on Mount Perazim. He will be angry as in the
valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his unusual work, and bring
to pass his act, his extraordinary act. {28:22} Now therefore don't be
scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard a decree of
destruction from the Lord, the LORD of Hosts, on the whole earth.

its surface, doesn't he plant the dill, and scatter the cumin seed,

the spelt in its place? {28:26} For his God instructs him in right
judgment, and teaches him. {28:27} For the dill are not threshed with
a sharp instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned over the cumin; but
the dill is beaten out with a stick, and the cumin with a rod. {28:28}
Bread flour must be ground; so he will not always be threshing it.

around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will
raise siege works against you. {29:4} You will be brought down, and

{28:1} Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to
the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the
fertile valley of those who are overcome with wine! {28:2} Behold, the
Lord has a mighty and strong one. Like a storm of hail, a destroying
storm, and like a storm of mighty waters overflowing, he will cast
them down to the earth with his hand. {28:3} The crown of pride of the
drunkards of Ephraim will be trodden under foot. {28:4} The fading
flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile
valley, shall be like the first-ripe fig before the summer; which
someone picks and eats as soon as he sees it. {28:5} In that day, the
LORD of Hosts will become a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, to
the residue of his people; {28:6} and a spirit of justice to him who
sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at
the gate. {28:7} They also reel with wine, and stagger with strong
drink. The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink. They are
swallowed up by wine. They stagger with strong drink. They err in
vision. They stumble in judgment. {28:8} For all tables are completely
full of filthy vomit and filthiness. {28:9} Whom will he teach
knowledge? To whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned
from the milk, and drawn from the breasts? {28:10} For it is precept
on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a
little, there a little. {28:11} But he will speak to this nation with
stammering lips and in another language; {28:12} to whom he said,
"This is the resting place. Give rest to weary;" and "This is the
refreshing;" yet they would not hear. {28:13} Therefore the word of
the LORD will be to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line
on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they may
go, fall backward, be broken, be snared, and be taken. {28:14}
Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scoffers, that rule this
people in Jerusalem: {28:15} "Because you have said, 'We have made a
covenant with death, and with [1>]Sheol[<1] are we in agreement. When
the overflowing scourge passes through, it won't come to us; for we
have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under
falsehood.'" {28:16} Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I lay
in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious
cornerstone of a sure foundation. He who believes shall not act
hastily. {28:17} I will make justice the measuring line, and
righteousness the plumb line. The hail will sweep away the refuge of
lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place. {28:18} Your
covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with
[2>]Sheol[<2] shall not stand. When the overflowing scourge passes
through, then you will be trampled down by it. {28:19} As often as it
passes through, it will seize you; for morning by morning it will pass
through, by day and by night; and it will be nothing but terror to
understand the message." {28:20} For the bed is too short to stretch
