Isaiah - Chapter 28

Isa 28:1	¶	Woe ¹⁹⁴⁵ to the crown ⁵⁸⁵⁰ of pride ¹³⁴⁸, to the drunkards ⁷⁹¹⁰ of Ephraim ⁶⁶⁹, whose glorious ⁶⁶⁴³ beauty ⁸⁵⁹⁷ [is] a fading ⁵⁰³⁴ flower ⁶⁷³¹, which [are] on the head ⁷²¹⁸ of the fat ⁸⁰⁸¹ valleys ¹⁵¹⁶ of them that are overcome ¹⁹⁸⁶ with wine ³¹⁹⁶!
Isa 28:2		Behold, the Lord ¹³⁶ hath a mighty ²³⁸⁹ and strong one ⁵³³, [which] as a tempest ²²³⁰ of hail ¹²⁵⁹ [and] a destroying ⁶⁹⁸⁶ storm ⁸¹⁷⁸, as a flood ²²³⁰ of mighty ³⁵²⁴ waters ⁴³²⁵ overflowing ⁷⁸⁵⁷ , shall cast down ³²⁴⁰ to the earth ⁷⁷⁶ with the hand ³⁰²⁷.
Isa 28:3		The crown ⁵⁸⁵⁰ of pride ¹³⁴⁸, the drunkards ⁷⁹¹⁰ of Ephraim ⁶⁶⁹, shall be trodden ⁷⁴²⁹ under feet ⁷²⁷²:
Isa 28:4		And the glorious ⁶⁶⁴³ beauty ⁸⁵⁹⁷, which [is] on the head ⁷²¹⁸ of the fat ⁸⁰⁸¹ valley ¹⁵¹⁶, shall be a fading ⁵⁰³⁴ flower ⁶⁷³³, [and] as the hasty fruit ¹⁰⁶¹ before the summer ⁷⁰¹⁹; which [when] he that looketh ⁷²⁰⁰ upon it seeth ⁷²⁰⁰ , while it is yet in his hand ³⁷⁰⁹ he eateth it up ¹¹⁰⁴ .
Isa 28:5	¶	In that day ³¹¹⁷ shall the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts ⁶⁶³⁵ be for a crown ⁵⁸⁵⁰ of glory ⁶⁶⁴³, and for a diadem ⁶⁸⁴³ of beauty ⁸⁵⁹⁷, unto the residue ⁷⁶⁰⁵ of his people ⁵⁹⁷¹,
Isa 28:6		And for a spirit ⁷³⁰⁷ of judgment ⁴⁹⁴¹ to him that sitteth ³⁴²⁷ in judgment ⁴⁹⁴¹, and for strength ¹³⁶⁹ to them that turn ⁷⁷²⁵ the battle ⁴⁴²¹ to the gate ⁸¹⁷⁹.
Isa 28:7	¶	But they ⁴²⁸ also have erred ⁷⁶⁸⁶ through wine ³¹⁹⁶, and through strong drink ⁷⁹⁴¹ are out of the way ⁸⁵⁸² ; the priest ³⁵⁴⁸ and the prophet ⁵⁰³⁰ have erred ⁷⁶⁸⁶ through strong drink ⁷⁹⁴¹, they are swallowed up ¹¹⁰⁴ of ⁴⁴⁸⁰ wine ³¹⁹⁶, they are out of the way ⁸⁵⁸² through strong drink ⁷⁹⁴¹; they err ⁷⁶⁸⁶ in vision ⁷²⁰³, they stumble ⁶³²⁸ [in] judgment ⁶⁴¹⁷.
Isa 28:8		For all tables ⁷⁹⁷⁹ are full ⁴³⁹⁰ of vomit ⁶⁸⁹² [and] filthiness ⁶⁶⁷⁵, [so that there is] no place ⁴⁷²⁵ [clean].
Isa 28:9	¶	Whom shall he teach ³³⁸⁴ knowledge ¹⁸⁴⁴? and whom shall he make to understand ⁹⁹⁵ doctrine ⁸⁰⁵²? [them that are] weaned ¹⁵⁸⁰ from the milk ²⁴⁶¹, [and] drawn ⁶²⁶⁷ from the breasts ⁷⁶⁹⁹.
Isa 28:10		For precept ⁶⁶⁷³ [must be] upon precept ⁶⁶⁷³, precept ⁶⁶⁷³ upon precept ⁶⁶⁷³; line ⁶⁹⁵⁷ upon line ⁶⁹⁵⁷, line ⁶⁹⁵⁷ upon line ⁶⁹⁵⁷; here a little ²¹⁹¹, [and] there a little ²¹⁹¹:
Isa 28:11	¶	For with stammering ³⁹³⁴ lips ⁸¹⁹³ and another ³¹² tongue ³⁹⁵⁶ will he speak ¹⁶⁹⁶ to this people ⁵⁹⁷¹.
Isa 28:12		To whom he said ⁵⁵⁹ , This [is] the rest ⁴⁴⁹⁶ [wherewith] ye may cause the weary ⁵⁸⁸⁹ to rest ⁵¹¹⁷ ; and this [is] the refreshing ⁴⁷⁷⁴: yet they would ¹⁴ not hear ⁸⁰⁸⁵ .
Isa 28:13		But the word ¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ was unto them precept ⁶⁶⁷³ upon precept ⁶⁶⁷³, precept ⁶⁶⁷³ upon precept ⁶⁶⁷³; line ⁶⁹⁵⁷ upon line ⁶⁹⁵⁷, line ⁶⁹⁵⁷ upon line ⁶⁹⁵⁷; here a little ²¹⁹¹, [and] there a little ²¹⁹¹; that they might go ³²¹² , and fall ³⁷⁸² backward ²⁶⁸, and be broken ⁷⁶⁶⁵ , and snared ³³⁶⁹ , and taken ³⁹²⁰ .
Isa 28:14	¶	Wherefore hear ⁸⁰⁸⁵ the word ¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸, ye scornful ³⁹⁴⁴ men ⁵⁸², that rule ⁴⁹¹⁰ this people ⁵⁹⁷¹ which [is] in Jerusalem ³³⁸⁹.
Isa 28:15		Because ye have said ⁵⁵⁹ , We have made ³⁷⁷² a covenant ¹²⁸⁵ with death ⁴¹⁹⁴, and with hell ⁷⁵⁸⁵ are we ⁶²¹³ at agreement ²³⁷⁴; when the overflowing ⁷⁸⁵⁷ scourge ⁷⁷⁵² ⁷⁸⁸⁵ shall pass through ⁵⁶⁷⁴ ⁵⁶⁷⁴ , it shall not come ⁹³⁵ unto us: for we have made ⁷⁷⁶⁰ lies ³⁵⁷⁷ our refuge ⁴²⁶⁸, and under falsehood ⁸²⁶⁷ have we hid ⁵⁶⁴¹ ourselves:
Isa 28:16	¶	Therefore thus saith ⁵⁵⁹ the Lord ¹³⁶ GOD ³⁰⁶⁹, Behold, I lay ³²⁴⁵ in Zion ⁶⁷²⁶ for a foundation a stone ⁶⁸, a tried ⁹⁷⁶ stone ⁶⁸, a precious ³³⁶⁸ corner ⁶⁴³⁸ [stone], a sure ³²⁴⁵ foundation ⁴¹⁴³: he that believeth ⁵³⁹ shall not make haste ²³⁶³ .
Isa 28:17		Judgment ⁴⁹⁴¹ also will I lay ⁷⁷⁶⁰ to the line ⁶⁹⁵⁷, and righteousness ⁶⁶⁶⁶ to the plummet ⁴⁹⁴⁹: and the hail ¹²⁵⁹ shall sweep away ³²⁶¹ the refuge ⁴²⁶⁸ of lies ³⁵⁷⁷, and the waters ⁴³²⁵ shall overflow ⁷⁸⁵⁷ the hiding place ⁵⁶⁴³.
Isa 28:18		And your covenant ¹²⁸⁵ with death ⁴¹⁹⁴ shall be disannulled ³⁷²² , and your agreement ²³⁸⁰ with hell ⁷⁵⁸⁵ shall not stand ⁶⁹⁶⁵ ; when the overflowing ⁷⁸⁵⁷ scourge ⁷⁷⁵² shall pass through ⁵⁶⁷⁴ , then ye shall be trodden down ⁴⁸²³ by it.
Isa 28:19		From the time ¹⁷⁶⁷ that it goeth forth ⁵⁶⁷⁴ it shall take ³⁹⁴⁷ you: for morning ¹²⁴² by morning ¹²⁴² shall it pass over ⁵⁶⁷⁴ , by day ³¹¹⁷ and by night ³⁹¹⁵: and it shall be a vexation ²¹¹³ only [to] understand ⁹⁹⁵ the report ⁸⁰⁵².
Isa 28:20	¶	For the bed ⁴⁷⁰² is shorter ⁷¹¹⁴ than that [a man] can stretch ⁸³¹¹ himself [on it]: and the covering ⁴⁵⁴¹ narrower ⁶⁸⁸⁷ than that he can wrap ³⁶⁶⁴ himself [in it].
Isa 28:21		For the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ shall rise up ⁶⁹⁶⁵ as [in] mount ²⁰²² Perazim ⁶⁵⁵⁹, he shall be wroth ⁷²⁶⁴ as [in] the valley ⁶⁰¹⁰ of Gibeon ¹³⁹¹, that he may do ⁶²¹³ his work ⁴⁶³⁹, his strange ²¹¹⁴ work ⁴⁶³⁹; and bring to pass ⁵⁶⁴⁷ his act ⁵⁶⁵⁶, his strange ⁵²³⁷ act ⁵⁶⁵⁶.
Isa 28:22		Now therefore be ye not mockers ³⁸⁸⁷ , lest your bands ⁴¹⁴⁷ be made strong ²³⁸⁸ : for I have heard ⁸⁰⁸⁵ from the Lord ¹³⁶ GOD ³⁰⁶⁹ of hosts ⁶⁶³⁵ a consumption ³⁶¹⁷, even determined ²⁷⁸² upon the whole earth ⁷⁷⁶.
Isa 28:23	¶	Give ye ear ²³⁸ , and hear ⁸⁰⁸⁵ my voice ⁶⁹⁶³; hearken ⁷¹⁸¹ , and hear ⁸⁰⁸⁵ my speech ⁵⁶⁵.
Isa 28:24		Doth the plowman ²⁷⁹⁰ plow ²⁷⁹⁰ all day ³¹¹⁷ to sow ²²³² ? doth he open ⁶⁶⁰⁵ and break the clods ⁷⁷⁰² of his ground ¹²⁷?
Isa 28:25		When he hath made plain ⁷⁷³⁷ the face ⁶⁴⁴⁰ thereof, doth he not cast abroad ⁶³²⁷ the fitches ⁷¹⁰⁰, and scatter ²²³⁶ the cummin ³⁶⁴⁶, and cast ⁷⁷⁶⁰ in the principal ⁷⁷⁹⁵ wheat ²⁴⁰⁶ and the appointed ⁵⁵⁶⁷ barley ⁸¹⁸⁴ and the rie ³⁶⁹⁸ in their place ¹³⁶⁷?
Isa 28:26		For his God ⁴³⁰ doth instruct ³²⁵⁶ him to discretion ⁴⁹⁴¹, [and] doth teach ³³⁸⁴ him.
Isa 28:27		For the fitches ⁷¹⁰⁰ are not threshed ¹⁷⁵⁸ with a threshing instrument ²⁷⁴², neither is a cart ⁵⁶⁹⁹ wheel ²¹² turned about ⁵⁴³⁷ upon the cummin ³⁶⁴⁶; but the fitches ⁷¹⁰⁰ are beaten out ²²⁵¹ with a staff ⁴²⁹⁴, and the cummin ³⁶⁴⁶ with a rod ⁷⁶²⁶.
Isa 28:28		Bread ³⁸⁹⁹ [corn] is bruised ¹⁸⁵⁴ ; because he will not ever ⁵³³¹ be threshing ¹⁵⁶ ¹⁷⁵⁸ it, nor break ²⁰⁰⁰ [it with] the wheel ¹⁵³⁶ of his cart ⁵⁶⁹⁹, nor bruise ¹⁸⁵⁴ it [with] his horsemen ⁶⁵⁷¹.
Isa 28:29		This also cometh forth ³³¹⁸ from the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts ⁶⁶³⁵, [which] is wonderful ⁶³⁸¹ in counsel ⁶⁰⁹⁸, [and] excellent ¹⁴³¹ in working ⁸⁴⁵⁴.
