1 # Woe <01945> to the crown <05850> of pride <01348>, to the drunkards <07910> of Ephraim <0669>, whose glorious <06643> beauty <08597> is a fading <05034> (8802) flower <06731>, which are on the head <07218> of the fat <08081> valleys <01516> of them that are overcome <01986> (8803) with wine <03196>!
2 Behold, the Lord <0136> hath a mighty <02389> and strong one <0533>, which as a tempest <02230> of hail <01259> and a destroying <06986> storm <08178>, as a flood <02230> of mighty <03524> waters <04325> overflowing <07857> (8802), shall cast down <03240> (8689) to the earth <0776> with the hand <03027>.
3 The crown <05850> of pride <01348>, the drunkards <07910> of Ephraim <0669>, shall be trodden <07429> (8735) under feet <07272>:
4 And the glorious <06643> beauty <08597>, which is on the head <07218> of the fat <08081> valley <01516> , shall be a fading <05034> (8802) flower <06733>, and as the hasty fruit <01061> before the summer <07019>; which when he that looketh <07200> (8802) upon it seeth <07200> (8799), while it is yet in his hand <03709> he eateth it up <01104> (8799).
5 In that day <03117> shall the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> be for a crown <05850> of glory <06643>, and for a diadem <06843> of beauty <08597>, unto the residue <07605> of his people <05971>,
6 And for a spirit <07307> of judgment <04941> to him that sitteth <03427> (8802) in judgment <04941>, and for strength <01369> to them that turn <07725> (8688) the battle <04421> to the gate <08179>.
7 But they <0428> also have erred <07686> (8804) through wine <03196>, and through strong drink <07941> are out of the way <08582> (8804); the priest <03548> and the prophet <05030> have erred <07686> (8804) through strong drink <07941> , they are swallowed up <01104> (8738) of <04480> wine <03196>, they are out of the way <08582> (8804) through strong drink <07941>; they err <07686> (8804) in vision <07203>, they stumble <06328> (8804) in judgment <06417> .
8 For all tables <07979> are full <04390> (8804) of vomit <06892> and filthiness <06675>, so that there is no place <04725> clean.
9 # Whom shall he teach <03384> (8686) knowledge <01844>? and whom shall he make to understand <0995> (8799) doctrine <08052>? them that are weaned <01580> (8803) from the milk <02461>, and drawn <06267> from the breasts <07699> .
10 For precept <06673> must be upon precept <06673>, precept <06673> upon precept <06673>; line <06957> upon line <06957>, line <06957> upon line <06957>; here a little <02191>, and there a little <02191>:
11 For with stammering <03934> lips <08193> and another <0312> tongue <03956> will he speak <01696> (8762) to this people <05971>.
12 To whom he said <0559> (8804), This is the rest <04496> wherewith ye may cause the weary <05889> to rest <05117> (8685); and this is the refreshing <04774>: yet they would <014> (8804) not hear <08085> (8800).
13 But the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> was unto them precept <06673> upon precept <06673>, precept <06673> upon precept <06673>; line <06957> upon line <06957>, line <06957> upon line <06957>; here a little <02191>, and there a little <02191>; that they might go <03212> (8799), and fall <03782> (8804) backward <0268>, and be broken <07665> (8738), and snared <03369> (8738), and taken <03920> (8738).
14 # Wherefore hear <08085> (8798) the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>, ye scornful <03944> men <0582> , that rule <04910> (8802) this people <05971> which is in Jerusalem <03389>.
15 Because ye have said <0559> (8804), We have made <03772> (8804) a covenant <01285> with death <04194> , and with hell <07585> are we <06213> (8804) at agreement <02374>; when the overflowing <07857> (8802) scourge <07752> (8675) <07885> shall pass through <05674> (8799) (8675) <05674> (8804), it shall not come <0935> (8799) unto us: for we have made <07760> (8804) lies <03577> our refuge <04268>, and under falsehood <08267> have we hid <05641> (8738) ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, Behold, I lay <03245> (8765) in Zion <06726> for a foundation a stone <068>, a tried <0976> stone <068>, a precious <03368> corner <06438> stone, a sure <03245> (8716) foundation <04143>: he that believeth <0539> (8688) shall not make haste <02363> (8686).
17 Judgment <04941> also will I lay <07760> (8804) to the line <06957>, and righteousness <06666> to the plummet <04949>: and the hail <01259> shall sweep away <03261> (8804) the refuge <04268> of lies <03577>, and the waters <04325> shall overflow <07857> (8799) the hiding place <05643>.
18 And your covenant <01285> with death <04194> shall be disannulled <03722> (8795), and your agreement <02380> with hell <07585> shall not stand <06965> (8799); when the overflowing <07857> (8802) scourge <07752> shall pass through <05674> (8799), then ye shall be trodden down <04823> by it.
19 From the time <01767> that it goeth forth <05674> (8800) it shall take <03947> (8799) you: for morning <01242> by morning <01242> shall it pass over <05674> (8799), by day <03117> and by night <03915>: and it shall be a vexation <02113> only to understand <0995> (8687) the report <08052>.
20 For the bed <04702> is shorter <07114> (8804) than that a man can stretch <08311> (8692) himself on it: and the covering <04541> narrower <06887> (8804) than that he can wrap <03664> (8692) himself in it.
21 For the LORD <03068> shall rise up <06965> (8799) as in mount <02022> Perazim <06559>, he shall be wroth <07264> (8799) as in the valley <06010> of Gibeon <01391>, that he may do <06213> (8800) his work <04639> , his strange <02114> (8801) work <04639>; and bring to pass <05647> (8800) his act <05656>, his strange <05237> act <05656>.
22 Now therefore be ye not mockers <03887> (8698), lest your bands <04147> be made strong <02388> (8799): for I have heard <08085> (8804) from the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of hosts <06635> a consumption <03617>, even determined <02782> (8737) upon the whole earth <0776>.
23 # Give ye ear <0238> (8685), and hear <08085> (8798) my voice <06963>; hearken <07181> (8685) , and hear <08085> (8798) my speech <0565>.
24 Doth the plowman <02790> (8802) plow <02790> (8799) all day <03117> to sow <02232> (8800) ? doth he open <06605> (8762) and break the clods <07702> (8762) of his ground <0127>?
25 When he hath made plain <07737> (8765) the face <06440> thereof, doth he not cast abroad <06327> (8689) the fitches <07100>, and scatter <02236> (8799) the cummin <03646>, and cast <07760> (8804) in the principal <07795> wheat <02406> and the appointed <05567> (8737) barley <08184> and the rie <03698> in their place <01367>?
26 For his God <0430> doth instruct <03256> (8765) him to discretion <04941>, and doth teach <03384> (8686) him.
27 For the fitches <07100> are not threshed <01758> (8714) with a threshing instrument <02742>, neither is a cart <05699> wheel <0212> turned about <05437> (8714) upon the cummin <03646>; but the fitches <07100> are beaten out <02251> (8735) with a staff <04294>, and the cummin <03646> with a rod <07626>.
28 Bread <03899> corn is bruised <01854> (8714); because he will not ever <05331> be threshing <0156> (8800) <01758> (8799) it, nor break <02000> (8804) it with the wheel <01536> of his cart <05699>, nor bruise <01854> (8799) it with his horsemen <06571>.
29 This also cometh forth <03318> (8804) from the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, which is wonderful <06381> (8689) in counsel <06098>, and excellent <01431> (8689) in working <08454>.
