WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:06.360 Chapter 28 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose 00:06.360 --> 00:10.700 glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys 00:10.700 --> 00:12.720 of them that are overcome with wine! 00:13.680 --> 00:18.160 Behold the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which, as a tempest of hail, 00:18.420 --> 00:23.620 and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down 00:23.620 --> 00:24.900 to the earth with a hand. 00:25.520 --> 00:30.080 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet. 00:30.740 --> 00:34.720 And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading 00:34.720 --> 00:39.940 flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer, which, when he that looketh upon 00:39.940 --> 00:43.440 it seeth, while it is yet in his hand, he eateth it up. 00:44.380 --> 00:49.620 In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of 00:49.620 --> 00:52.000 beauty, unto the residue of his people. 00:53.060 --> 00:57.220 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to 00:57.220 --> 00:58.920 them that turn the battle to the gate. 00:59.460 --> 01:03.760 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the 01:03.760 --> 01:04.040 way. 01:04.380 --> 01:07.460 The priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink. 01:07.860 --> 01:09.460 They are swallowed up of wine. 01:09.940 --> 01:12.000 They are out of the way through strong drink. 01:12.480 --> 01:14.760 They err in vision, they stumble in judgment. 01:15.480 --> 01:20.460 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place 01:20.460 --> 01:20.880 clean. 01:21.700 --> 01:23.040 Whom shall he teach knowledge? 01:23.440 --> 01:25.660 And whom shall he make to understand doctrine? 01:26.460 --> 01:29.580 Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 01:30.280 --> 01:35.900 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, 01:36.280 --> 01:39.280 line upon line, here a little, and there a little. 01:40.100 --> 01:44.900 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 01:45.480 --> 01:50.420 To whom he said, this is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest, 01:50.980 --> 01:53.160 and this is the refreshing. 01:54.100 --> 01:59.480 Yet they would not hear, but the word of the Lord was upon them, precept upon 01:59.480 --> 02:04.940 precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, 02:04.940 --> 02:09.160 here a little, and there a little, that they might go and fall backward, 02:09.400 --> 02:11.960 and be broken, and snared, and taken. 02:13.500 --> 02:18.460 Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people 02:18.460 --> 02:19.620 which is in Jerusalem. 02:20.860 --> 02:26.460 Because ye have said, we have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we 02:26.460 --> 02:26.920 at agreement. 02:27.380 --> 02:31.760 When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us. 02:31.760 --> 02:36.820 For we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves. 02:37.900 --> 02:43.140 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a 02:43.140 --> 02:48.440 stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation. 02:49.340 --> 02:51.660 He that believeth shall not make haste. 02:52.280 --> 02:55.980 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet. 02:55.980 --> 03:01.260 And the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the water shall overflow the 03:01.260 --> 03:01.960 hiding place. 03:02.680 --> 03:06.920 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell 03:06.920 --> 03:08.300 shall not stand. 03:08.980 --> 03:13.640 When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by 03:13.640 --> 03:13.820 it. 03:14.240 --> 03:16.900 From the time that it goeth forth, it shall take you. 03:17.540 --> 03:21.620 For morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night. 03:22.300 --> 03:25.460 And it shall be a vexation only to understand the report. 03:25.460 --> 03:30.960 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it, and the covering 03:30.960 --> 03:33.660 narrower than that he can wrap himself in it. 03:34.060 --> 03:36.440 For the Lord shall rise up as in Mount Berezin. 03:37.140 --> 03:40.980 He shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, 03:41.300 --> 03:45.700 his strange work, and bring to pass his act, his strange act. 03:46.520 --> 03:50.500 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong. 03:50.500 --> 03:56.020 For I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption even determined upon 03:56.020 --> 03:56.820 the whole earth. 03:57.580 --> 03:59.540 Give ye ear, and hear my voice. 04:00.160 --> 04:01.920 Hearken, and hear my speech. 04:02.800 --> 04:05.040 Doth the ploughman plough all day to sow? 04:05.640 --> 04:07.860 Doth he open and break the clods of his ground? 04:08.900 --> 04:13.560 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, 04:13.840 --> 04:18.100 and scatter the cumin, and cast in the principal wheat, and the appointed barley, 04:18.440 --> 04:19.840 and the rye in their place? 04:20.720 --> 04:24.860 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him. 04:25.800 --> 04:29.640 For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a 04:29.640 --> 04:33.760 cartwheel turned about upon the cumin, but the fitches are beaten out with a 04:33.760 --> 04:35.740 staff, and the cumin with a rod. 04:37.320 --> 04:42.880 Bread corn is bruised, because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with 04:42.880 --> 04:45.500 the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horseman. 04:45.500 --> 04:50.900 This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, 04:51.240 --> 04:52.480 and excellent in working.
