The overwhelming H7857 [fn]scourge H7752 will not reach H935 us when H3588 it passes H5674 by,

For I have heard H8085 from the Lord H136 [fn]GOD H3068 of hosts H6635
Of decisive H2782 destruction H3617 on all H3605 the earth. H776

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:28 - Grain for bread H3899 is crushed, H1854
Indeed, H3588 he does not continue H1758 to thresh H1758 it forever. H5331
Because the wheel H1536 of his cart H5699 and his horses H6571 eventually [fn]damage H2000 it,
He does not thresh H1854 it longer.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:29 - This H2088 also H1571 comes H3318 from the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635
