Isaiah  Ecclesiastes

Isaiah chapter 28 and the book of Ecclesiastes.

^1.1Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, ^1.2and woe to the shameful diadem of the strength of his glory, ^1.3which dominates at the entrance of the fertile valley ^1.4of those who are overcome with wine. ^2.1The strength and the might of the Master ^2.2is like a storm of hail and like a destroying whirlwind, ^2.3and as a flood of mighty waters overflowing; ^2.4I will give rest to this land by your hands; ^3.1the crown of the proud and of the drunkards of Ephraim ^3.2will be trampled under foot; ^4.1and the shameful garland of the strength of his glory, ^4.2which dominates at the entrance of the fertile valley, ^4.3will be as the firstfruits before the summer, ^4.4which he who sees it picks up at once ^4.5and devours. Isaiah 28:1-4^5.1In that day the Master of Hosts ^5.2will be for a crown of glory ^5.3and for a diadem of beauty ^5.4to the remnant of his people, ^6.1and for a spirit of justice ^6.2to him who sits in judgment, ^6.3and for strength ^6.4to those who turn away the battle from the gate. Isaiah 28:5-6^7.1But these have also erred with wine, ^7.2and with strong drink are gone astray; ^7.3the priests and the prophets have erred with strong drink, ^7.4they are overcome with wine, ^7.5they stagger with strong drink, ^7.6they err in judgment with drunkenness, ^7.7they eat immoderately. ^8.1For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, ^8.2so that there is no place clean. Isaiah 28:7-8^9.1To whom will he teach knowledge ^9.2and whom will he make understand the report? ^9.3Those who are weaned from the milk ^9.4and drawn from the breasts. ^10.1Therefore ^10.2commandment to commandment, commandment to commandment, ^10.3line to line, line to line, ^10.4there a little there a little. Isaiah 28:9-10^11.1For with a difficult speech and with an alien tongue ^11.2he will speak to this people. ^12.1For I have said to them, ^12.2This is the place of my rest where I may cause the weary to rest ^12.3and this is the place of tranquility, ^12.4but they would not listen. Q 1 Corinthians 14:21 ^13.1The word of the Master was to them ^13.2commandment to commandment, commandment to commandment, ^13.3line to line, line to line, ^13.4there a little there a little, ^13.5that they might walk and stumble backward ^13.6and be broken and snared and taken. Isaiah 28:11-13^14.1Therefore, hear the word of the Master, ^14.2scornful men who rule this people that is in Jerusalem. ^15.1Because you have said, We have made a contract with death ^15.2and with Saul we have made an agreement, ^15.3when the overflowing scourge will pass through ^15.4it will not come to us, ^15.5for we have placed our hope in lies ^15.6and under falsehood we have hidden ourselves. Isaiah 28:14-15^16.1Therefore, thus says the Master God: ^16.2I lay in Zion a foundation, a stone, a tried stone, ^16.3a precious corner stone, a sure foundation; ^16.4he who believes ^16.5will not be afraid. Q Romans 10:11 Q 1 Peter 2:6 ^17.1I will make justice to the measuring line ^17.2and righteousness to the plummet ^17.3and the hail will sweep away the refuge of lies ^17.4and the waters will overflow the hiding place. ^18.1Your contract with death will be disannulled ^18.2and your agreement with Saul will not stand ^18.3when the overflowing scourge will pass, ^18.4then you will be trampled down by it. ^19.1From the time that it passes it will take you, ^19.2for morning by morning it will pass ^19.3by day and by night, Isaiah 28:16-19^19.4and it will only be a terror ^19.5to understand the report. ^20.1For the cloth is too short and the warp grows weak ^20.2and is insufficient for a garment. ^21.1For the Master will rise up as in a mountain pass. ^21.2He will be angry as in the valley of Gibeon ^21.3that he may do his works, his foreign works, ^21.4and bring to pass his acts, his foreign acts. ^22.1Now do not mock ^22.2lest your chastisement be severe, ^22.3for I have heard from the Master of Hosts, ^22.4that he will bring destruction and judgment on the whole land. Isaiah 28:19.4-22^23.1Give ear and hear my voice, ^23.2listen and hear my speech. ^24.1Does the plowman plow all day to sow? ^24.2Does he open and hoe his ground? ^25.1Does he, after he has leveled its surface, ^25.2not scatter the dill and sow cummin, ^25.3and put in wheat and barley, ^25.4and rye in its borders? ^26.1For his God does instruct him to discretion ^26.2and does teach him. Isaiah 28:23-26^27.1For dill is not threshed under the feet of oxen ^27.2nor is a threshing instrument turned about on cummin, ^27.3but dill is beaten out with a staff ^27.4and cummin with a rod. ^28.1Grain is threshed for our sakes ^28.2because man would not otherwise be threshing it, ^28.3nor break it with many wheels of his threshing instruments, ^28.4nor crush it under the feet of his oxen. ^29.1This also comes forth from the Master of Hosts ^29.2who is wonderful in counsel ^29.3and excellent in instruction.
