Woe
to the proud
crown
of the drunkards
of Ephraim,
And to the fading
flower
of its glorious beauty,
Which
is at the head
of the fertile
valley
Of those who are overcome
with wine!
2
Behold,
the Lord
has a strong
and mighty
agent; As a storm
of hail,
a tempest
of destruction,
Like a storm
of mighty
overflowing
waters,
He has cast it down
to the earth
with His hand.
3
The proud
crown
of the drunkards
of Ephraim
is trodden
under foot.
4
And the fading
flower
of its glorious beauty,
Which
is at the head
of the fertile
valley,
Will be like the first-ripe fig
prior
to summer,
Which
one sees,
And as soon
as it is in his hand,
He swallows
it.
5
In that day
the LORD
of hosts
will become
a beautiful
crown
And a glorious
diadem
to the remnant
of His people;
6
A spirit
of justice
for him who sits
in judgment,
A strength
to those who repel
the onslaught
at the gate.
7
And these
also
reel
with wine
and stagger
from strong
drink:
The priest
and the prophet
reel
with strong drink,
They are confused
by wine,
they stagger
from strong
drink;
They
reel
while having visions,
They totter
when rendering judgment.
8
For all
the tables
are full
of filthy
vomit,
without
a single clean place.
9
"To whom
would He teach
knowledge,
And to whom
would He interpret
the message?
Those just weaned
from milk?
Those just taken
from the breast?
10
"For He says, 'Order
on
order
,
order
on
order
,
Line
on
line
,
line
on
line
,
A little
here,
a little
there.'"
11
Indeed,
He will speak
to this
people
Through stammering
lips
and a foreign
tongue,
12
He who
said
to them, "Here
is rest,
give rest
to the weary,"
And, "Here
is repose,"
but they would
not listen.
13
So the word
of the LORD
to them will be, "Order
on
order
,
order
on
order
,
Line
on
line
,
line
on
line
,
A little
here,
a little
t
here,
"
That they may go
and stumble
backward,
be broken,
snared
and taken captive.
14
Therefore,
hear
the word
of the LORD,
O scoffers,
Who rule
this
people
who
are in Jerusalem,
15
Because
you have said,
"We have made
a covenant
with death,
And with Sheol
we have made
a pact.
The overwhelming
scourge
will not reach
us when
it passes
by, For
we have made
falsehood
our refuge
and we have concealed
ourselves with deception."
16
Therefore
thus
says
the Lord
GOD,
"Behold,
I am laying
in Zion
a
stone,
a tested
stone,
A costly
cornerstone
for the foundation,
firmly placed.
He who believes
in it will not be disturbed.
17
"I will make
justice
the measuring line
And righteousness
the level;
Then hail
will sweep away
the refuge
of lies
And the waters
will overflow
the secret place.
18
"Your covenant
with death
will be canceled,
And your pact
with Sheol
will not stand;
When
the overwhelming
scourge
passes through,
Then you become
its trampling
place.
19
"As often
as it passes
through,
it will seize
you; For morning
after morning
it will pass
through,
anytime during the day
or night,
And it will be sheer
terror
to understand
what it means."
20
The bed
is too
short
on which to stretch
out, And the blanket
is too
small
to wrap
oneself in.
21
For the LORD
will rise
up as at Mount
Perazim,
He will be stirred
up as in the valley
of Gibeon,
To do
His
task,
His unusual
task,
And to work
His work,
His extraordinary
work.
22
And now
do not carry on as scoffers,
Or
your fetters
will be made stronger;
For I have heard
from the Lord
GOD
of hosts
Of decisive
destruction
on all
the earth.
23
Give ear
and hear
my voice,
Listen
and hear
my words.
24
Does the farmer
plow
continually
to plant seed?
Does he
continually
turn
and harrow
the ground?
25
Does he not level
its surface
And sow
dill
and scatter
cummin
And plant
wheat
in rows,
Barley
in its place
and rye
within its area?
26
For his God
instructs
and teaches
him properly.
27
For dill
is not threshed
with a threshing sledge,
Nor
is the cartwheel
driven
over
cummin;
But dill
is beaten
out with a rod,
and cummin
with a club.
28
Grain for bread
is crushed,
Indeed,
he does not continue to thresh
it forever.
Because the wheel
of his cart
and his horses
eventually damage
it, He does not thresh
it longer.
29
This
also
comes
from the LORD
of hosts,
Who has made
His counsel
wonderful
and His wisdom
great.
