Judgment on Ephraim and Jerusalem
1
Ah, the proud crown of 1the drunkards of Ephraim, and the fading flower of its glorious beauty, which is on the head of the rich valley of those overcome with wine!
2
Behold, the Lord has 2one who is mighty and strong; like a storm of hail, a destroying tempest, like 3a storm of mighty, overflowing waters, he casts down to the earth with his hand.
3
4The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim will be trodden underfoot;
4
5and the fading flower of its glorious beauty, which is on the head of the rich valley, will be like 6a first-ripe fig before the summer: when someone sees it, he swallows it as soon as it is in his hand.
5
7In that day the LORD of hosts will be a crown of glory,a and a diadem of beauty, to the remnant of his people,
6
and 8a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and 9strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
7
10These also reel with wine and 11stagger with strong drink; the priest and 12the prophet reel with strong drink, they are swallowed byb wine, they stagger with strong drink, they reel in vision, they stumble in giving judgment.
8
For all tables are full of filthy vomit, with no space left.
9
13"To whom will he teach knowledge, and to whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned from the milk, those taken from the breast?
10
For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little."
11
14For by people of strange lips and with a foreign tongue the LORD will speak to this people,
12
to whom he has said, 15"This is rest; give rest to the weary; and this is repose"; yet they would not hear.
13
And the word of the LORD will be to them precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little, 16that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
