Which is at the head of the1 verdant valley,
Like the first fruit before the summer,
Which an observer sees;
He eats it up while it is still in his hand.
For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty
To the remnant of His people,
And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
And through intoxicating drink are out of the way;
bThe priest and the prophet have erred through intoxicating drink,
They are swallowed up by wine,
They are out of the way through intoxicating drink;
They err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
And whom will he make to understand the message?
Those just weaned from milk?
Those just drawn from the breasts?
Line upon line, line upon line,
Here a little, there a little.”
You may cause the weary to rest,”
And, “This is the refreshing”;
Yet they would not hear.
“Precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
Line upon line, line upon line,
Here a little, there a little,”
That they might go and fall backward, and be broken
And snared and caught.
And with Sheol we are in agreement.
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
It will not come to us,
aFor we have made lies our refuge,
And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.”
| << Isaiah 28:4 | Isaiah 28:6 >> |
