Isaiah 28

1 woe! crown majesty drunken Ephraim and flower to wither beauty beauty his which upon head valley oil to smite wine

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 fat valley of them that are smitten down with wine!

2 behold strong and strong to/for Lord like/as storm hail storm destruction like/as storm water mighty to overflow to rest to/for land: country/planet in/on/with hand: power

Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, as a storm of hail, a tempest of destruction, as a storm of mighty waters overflowing, that casteth down to the earth with violence.

3 in/on/with foot to trample crown majesty drunken Ephraim

The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot;

4 and to be flower to wither beauty beauty his which upon head valley oil like/as early fig in/on/with before summer which to see: see [the] to see: see [obj] her in/on/with still she in/on/with palm his to swallow up her

And the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as the first-ripe fig before the summer, which when one looketh upon it, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.

5 in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to be LORD Hosts to/for crown beauty and to/for diadem/doom beauty to/for remnant people his

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;

6 and to/for spirit justice to/for to dwell upon [the] justice: judgement and to/for might to return: return battle gate [to]

And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn back the battle at the gate.

7 and also these in/on/with wine to wander and in/on/with strong drink to go astray priest and prophet to wander in/on/with strong drink to swallow up from [the] wine to go astray from [the] strong drink to wander in/on/with vision to reel judgment

But these also reel through wine, and stagger through strong drink; the priest and the prophet reel through strong drink, they are confused because of wine, they stagger because of strong drink; they reel in vision, they totter in judgment.

8 for all table to fill vomit filth without place

For all tables are full of filthy vomit, and no place is clean.

9 [obj] who? to show knowledge and [obj] who? to understand tidings to wean from milk ancient/taken from breast

Whom shall one teach knowledge? And whom shall one make to understand the message? Them that are weaned from the milk, them that are drawn from the breasts?

10 for command to/for command command to/for command cord to/for cord cord to/for cord little there little there

For it is precept by precept, precept by precept, line by line, line by line; here a little, there a little.

11 for in/on/with mocking lips and in/on/with tongue: language another to speak: speak to(wards) [the] people [the] this

For with stammering lips and with a strange tongue shall it be spoken to this people;

12 which to say to(wards) them this [the] resting to rest to/for faint and this [the] repose and not be willing to hear: hear

To whom it was said: 'This is the rest, give ye rest to the weary; and this is the refreshing'; yet they would not hear.

13 and to be to/for them word LORD command to/for command command to/for command cord to/for cord cord to/for cord little there little there because to go: went and to stumble back and to break and to snare and to capture

And so the word of the LORD is unto them precept by precept, precept by precept, line by line, line by line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

14 to/for so to hear: hear word LORD human scorning to rule [the] people [the] this which in/on/with Jerusalem

Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scoffers, the ballad-mongers of this people which is in Jerusalem:

15 for to say to cut: make(covenant) covenant with death and with hell: Sheol to make seer (whip *Q(K)*) to overflow for (to pass *Q(K)*) not to come (in): come us for to set: make lie refuge our and in/on/with deception to hide (Sheol h7585)

Because ye have said: 'We have made a covenant with death, and with the nether-world are we at agreement; when the scouring scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and in falsehood have we hid ourselves'; (Sheol h7585)

16 to/for so thus to say Lord YHWH/God look! I to found in/on/with Zion stone stone testing corner precious foundation to found [the] be faithful not to hasten

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a costly corner-stone of sure foundation; he that believeth shall not make haste.

17 and to set: make justice to/for line and righteousness to/for level and to sweep away hail refuge lie and secrecy water to overflow

And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place.

18 and to atone covenant your with death and vision your with hell: Sheol not to arise: establish whip to overflow for to pass and to be to/for him to/for trampling (Sheol h7585)

And your covenant with death shall be disannulled and your agreement with the nether-world shall not stand; when the scouring scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it, (Sheol h7585)

19 from sufficiency to pass he to take: take [obj] you for in/on/with morning in/on/with morning to pass in/on/with day and in/on/with night and to be except trembling to understand tidings

As often as it passeth through, it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night; and it shall be sheer terror to understand the message.

20 for be short [the] bed from to extend and [the] veil to constrain like/as to gather

For the bed is too short for a man to stretch himself; and the covering too narrow when he gathereth himself up.

21 for like/as mountain: mount (Mount) Perazim to arise: rise LORD like/as valley in/on/with Gibeon to tremble to/for to make: do deed his be a stranger deed his and to/for to serve: labour service: work his foreign service: work his

For the LORD will rise up as in mount Perazim, He will be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon; that He may do His work, strange is His work, and bring to pass His act, strange is His act.

22 and now not to mock lest to strengthen: strengthen bond your for consumption and to decide to hear: hear from with Lord YHWH/God Hosts upon all [the] land: country/planet

Now therefore be ye not scoffers, lest your bands be made strong; for an extermination wholly determined have I heard from the Lord, the GOD of hosts, upon the whole land.

23 to listen and to hear: hear voice my to listen and to hear: hear word my

Give ye ear, and hear my voice; attend, and hear my speech.

24 all [the] day: daily to plow/plot [the] to plow/plot to/for to sow to open and to harrow land: soil his

Is the plowman never done with plowing to sow, with the opening and harrowing of his ground?

25 not if be like face: surface her and to scatter dill and cummin to scatter and to set: put wheat row and barley to appoint and rye border his

When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the black cummin, and scatter the cummin, and put in the wheat in rows and the barley in the appointed place and the spelt in the border thereof?

26 and to discipline him to/for justice God his to show him

For He doth instruct him aright; his God doth teach him.

27 for not in/on/with sharp to tread dill and wheel cart upon cummin to turn: turn for in/on/with tribe: stick to beat dill and cummin in/on/with tribe: staff

For the black cummin is not threshed with a threshing-sledge, neither is a cart-wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the black cummin is beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.

28 food: bread to crush for not to/for perpetuity to tread to tread him and to confuse wheel cart his and horse his not to crush him

Is bread corn crushed? Nay, he will not ever be threshing it; and though the roller of his wagon and its sharp edges move noisily, he doth not crush it.

29 also this from from with LORD Hosts to come out: come to wonder counsel to magnify wisdom

This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts: Wonderful is His counsel, and great His wisdom.
