1
Woe
to
the
crown
of
pride,
to
the
drunkards
of
Ephraim,
whose
glorious
beauty
[is]
a
fading
flower,
which
[are]
on
the
head
of
the
fat
valleys
of
them
that
are
overcome
with
wine!
2
Behold,
the
Lord
hath
a
mighty
and
strong
one,
[which]
as
a
tempest
of
hail
[and]
a
destroying
storm,
as
a
flood
of
mighty
waters
overflowing,
shall
cast
down
to
the
earth
with
the
hand.
3
The
crown
of
pride,
the
drunkards
of
Ephraim,
shall
be
trodden
under
feet:
4
And
the
glorious
beauty,
which
[is]
on
the
head
of
the
fat
valley,
shall
be
a
fading
flower,
[and]
as
the
hasty
fruit
before
the
summer;
which
[when]
he
that
looketh
upon
it
seeth,
while
it
is
yet
in
his
hand
he
eateth
it
5
In
that
day
shall
the
LORD
of
hosts
be
for
a
crown
of
glory,
and
for
a
diadem
of
beauty,
unto
the
residue
of
his
people,
6
And
for
a
spirit
of
judgment
to
him
that
sitteth
in
judgment,
and
for
strength
to
them
that
turn
the
battle
to
the
gate.
7
But
they
also
have
erred
through
wine,
and
through
strong
drink
are
out
of
the
way;
the
priest
and
the
prophet
have
erred
through
strong
drink,
they
are
swallowed
up
of
wine,
they
are
out
of
the
way
through
strong
drink;
they
err
in
vision,
they
stumble
[in]
judgment.
8
For
all
tables
are
full
of
vomit
[and]
filthiness,
[so
that
there
is]
no
place
[clean].
9
Whom
shall
he
teach
knowledge?
and
whom
shall
he
make
to
understand
doctrine?
[them
that
are]
weaned
from
the
milk,
[and]
drawn
from
the
breasts.
10
For
precept
[must
be]
upon
precept,
precept
upon
precept;
line
upon
line,
line
upon
line;
here
a
little,
[and]
there
a
little:
11
For
with
stammering
lips
and
another
tongue
will
he
speak
to
this
people.
12
To
whom
he
said,
This
[is]
the
rest
[wherewith]
ye
may
cause
the
weary
to
rest;
and
this
[is]
the
refreshing:
yet
they
would
not
hear.
13
But
the
word
of
the
LORD
was
unto
them
precept
upon
precept,
precept
upon
precept;
line
upon
line,
line
upon
line;
here
a
little,
[and]
there
a
little;
that
they
might
go,
and
fall
backward,
and
be
broken,
and
snared,
and
taken.
14
Wherefore
hear
the
word
of
the
LORD,
ye
scornful
men,
that
rule
this
people
which
[is]
in
Jerusalem.
15
Because
ye
have
said,
We
have
made
a
covenant
with
death,
and
with
hell
are
we
at
agreement;
when
the
overflowing
scourge
shall
pass
through,
it
shall
not
come
unto
us:
for
we
have
made
lies
our
refuge,
and
under
falsehood
have
we
hid
ourselves:
16
Therefore
thus
saith
the
Lord
GOD,
Behold,
I
lay
in
Zion
for
a
foundation
a
stone,
a
tried
stone,
a
precious
corner
[stone],
a
sure
foundation:
he
that
believeth
shall
not
make
haste.
17
Judgment
also
will
I
lay
to
the
line,
and
righteousness
to
the
plummet:
and
the
hail
shall
sweep
away
the
refuge
of
lies,
and
the
waters
shall
overflow
the
hiding
place.
18
And
your
covenant
with
death
shall
be
disannulled,
and
your
agreement
with
hell
shall
not
stand;
when
the
overflowing
scourge
shall
pass
through,
then
ye
shall
be
trodden
down
by
19
From
the
time
that
it
goeth
forth
it
shall
take
you:
for
morning
by
morning
shall
it
pass
over,
by
day
and
by
night:
and
it
shall
be
a
vexation
only
[to]
understand
the
report.
20
For
the
bed
is
shorter
than
that
[a
man]
can
stretch
himself
[on
it]:
and
the
covering
narrower
than
that
he
can
wrap
himself
[in
it].
21
For
the
LORD
shall
rise
up
as
[in]
mount
Perazim,
he
shall
be
wroth
as
[in]
the
valley
of
Gibeon,
that
he
may
do
his
work,
his
strange
work;
and
bring
to
pass
his
act,
his
strange
act.
22
Now
therefore
be
ye
not
mockers,
lest
your
bands
be
made
strong:
for
I
have
heard
from
the
Lord
GOD
of
hosts
a
consumption,
even
determined
upon
the
whole
earth.
23
Give
ye
ear,
and
hear
my
voice;
hearken,
and
hear
my
speech.
24
Doth
the
plowman
plow
all
day
to
sow?
doth
he
open
and
break
the
clods
of
his
ground?
25
When
he
hath
made
plain
the
face
thereof,
doth
he
not
cast
abroad
the
fitches,
and
scatter
the
cummin,
and
cast
in
the
principal
wheat
and
the
appointed
barley
and
the
rie
in
their
place?
26
For
his
God
doth
instruct
him
to
discretion,
[and]
doth
teach
him.
27
For
the
fitches
are
not
threshed
with
a
threshing
instrument,
neither
is
a
cart
wheel
turned
about
upon
the
cummin;
but
the
fitches
are
beaten
out
with
a
staff,
and
the
cummin
with
a
rod.
28
Bread
[corn]
is
bruised;
because
he
will
not
ever
be
threshing
it,
nor
break
[it
with]
the
wheel
of
his
cart,
nor
bruise
it
[with]
his
horsemen.
29
This
also
cometh
forth
from
the
LORD
of
hosts,
[which]
is
wonderful
in
counsel,
[and]
excellent
in
working.
