Isaiah 28:14-29

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>_.
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:
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)_.
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>_.
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. {trodden...: Heb. a treading down to it}
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>_.
{to...: or, when he shall make you to understand doctrine}
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].
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>_.
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>_.
Give ye ear
<0238> (8685)_,
and hear
<08085> (8798)
my voice
<06963>_;
hearken
<07181> (8685)_,
and hear
<08085> (8798)
my speech
<0565>_.
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>_?
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>_?
{the principal...: or, the wheat in the principal place, and barley in the appointed place} {rie: or, spelt} {place: Heb. border?}
For his God
<0430>
doth instruct
<03256> (8765)
him to discretion
<04941>_,
[and] doth teach
<03384> (8686)
him. {For...: or, And he bindeth it in such sort as his God doth teach him}
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
