ABP - Isaiah - 28

28:1  Woe to the crown of insolence, the hirelings of Ephraim, the flower, the one having fallen of the glory upon the top of the [2mountain 1thick branched], the ones being intoxicated without wine.

28:2  Behold, strong and hard is the rage of the lord; as hail being carried down not having protection, with force being carried down; as [3water 2of much 1a multitude] dragging a place along. In the land he shall cause rest to the hands.

28:3  And by the feet [4shall be trampled 1the 2crown 3of insolence], the hirelings of Ephraim.

28:4  And [3shall be 1the 2flower] (the one having fallen off of the hope of the glory) upon the tip of the [2mountain 1high] as a forerunner of a fig. The one beholding it, before [2into 3his hand 1taking it], will want to swallow it down.

28:5  In that day [3will be 1the lord 2of Hosts] the crown of hope, the plaited crown of glory to the one being left behind of my people.

28:6  And they shall be left behind in spirit of equity for judgment, and for the strength restraining doing away with.

28:7  For these [3in wine 2wandering 1are]; wandering because of the liquor; the priest and prophet are startled because of the liquor; they are swallowed down because of the wine; they are shaken from the intoxication of the liquor; they wandered; this is a visible manifestation.

28:8  A curse shall devour this plan, for this plan is because of the desire for wealth.

28:9  To whom did we announce evils? and to whom did we announce a message? even to the ones being weaned from milk, and the ones being drawn away from the breast.

28:10  Affliction upon affliction; favorably receive hope upon hope; still a little, still a little,

28:11  because of disparagement of the lips; [3by 5tongue 4another 1for 2they shall speak] to this people,

28:12  saying to it, This is the rest to the one hungering, and this is the destruction; and they did not want to hear.

28:13  And [4will be 5to them 1the 2oracle 3of God], affliction upon affliction, hope upon hope, still a little, still a little; that they should go and should fall to the rear, and shall be exposed to danger, and shall be broken, and shall be captured.

28:14  On account of this hear the word of the lord, O men being afflicted, and rulers of this people in Jerusalem!

28:15  For you said, We made a covenant with Hades, and [2with 3death 1treaties]. [2a gale 3being brought 1If] should go by, in no way should it come to us. We made the lie our hope, and by the lie we shall be sheltered.

28:16  On account of this, thus says the lord, Behold, I shall put for the foundations of Zion [4stone 1a very costly 2chosen 3cornering] of value for its foundations; and the one trusting upon it in no way should be disgraced.

28:17  And I shall place judgment for hope, and my charity by weights. And the ones relying vainly in a lie that in no way should [2go by 3you 1the gale];

28:18  even [4should not have removed 1your 2covenant 3of death]; and your hope, the one in Hades in no way should adhere. [2the blast 3being brought 1If] should come, you will be [3by it 1for 2trampling].

28:19  Whenever it should go by, it shall take you. Morning by morning it shall go by you, and in the night it will be [2hope 1an evil]. Learn to hear!

28:20  O ones having been restricted, in no way are we able to do combat; but we are ourselves weakened for you to gather.

28:21  As if a mountain of impious men the lord shall rise up; and it shall be in the ravine of Gibeon; with rage he shall execute his works -- [2of bitterness 1a work]; but his rage [2strangely 1he shall treat], and his rottenness in strangeness.

28:22  And you, may you not be glad, nor [3strengthen 4in you 1the 2bonds]; because [3being completed 4and 5being rendered concise 2the things 1I heard] by the lord of Host, which he will do upon all the earth.

28:23  Give ear and hearken to my voice! Take heed and hear my words!

28:24  Shall not [5the entire 6day 3be about 1the 2one plowing 4to plow]? or the one sowing, will he not prepare beforehand to work the ground?

28:25  Does he not whenever he should level the face of it, then sow the small pepperwort or cummin, and again sow wheat, and barley, and spelt, in your boundaries?

28:26  And you shall be corrected in the equity of your God, and shall be glad.

28:27  For not with hardness [2cleansed 1is the pepperwort], nor [2the wheel 3of a wagon 1shall] lead about upon the cummin; but [4by a rod 3is shaken off 1the 2pepperwort].

28:28  But the cummin [2with 3bread 1shall be eaten], [3not 1for 6into 7the 8eon 2I am 4provoked to anger 5against you], nor shall the voice of my bitterness trample you.

28:29  And these [3by 4the lord 5of Hosts 2came forth 1miracles]. Take counsel, exalt vain comfort!
