Isaiah:27-28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent ,
even leviathan that crooked serpent ;
and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea .
*
In that day sing ye unto her ,
A vineyard of red wine .
*
I the LORD do keep it ;
I will water it every moment :
lest any hurt it ,
I will keep it night and day .
*
Fury is not in me :
who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle ?
I would go through them ,
I would burn them together .
*
Or let him take hold of my strength ma #
owz #,
that he may make peace with me ;
and he shall make peace with me .
*
He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root :
Israel shall blossom and bud ,
and fill the face of the world with fruit .
*
Hath he smitten him ,
as he smote those that smote him ?
or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him ?
*
In measure ca #
c @#
ah #,
when it shooteth forth ,
thou wilt debate with it :
he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind .
*
By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged ;
and this is all the fruit to take away his sin chatta #
ah #;
when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder ,
the groves and images shall not stand up .
*
Yet the defenced city shall be desolate ,
and the habitation forsaken ,
and left like a wilderness :
there shall the calf feed ,
and there shall he lie down ,
and consume the branches thereof .
*
When the boughs thereof are withered ,
they shall be broken off :
the women come ,
and set them on fire :
for it is a people of no understanding :
therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them ,
and he that formed them will shew them no favour .
*
And it shall come to pass in that day ,
that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt ,
and ye shall be gathered one by one ,
O ye children of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
And it shall come to pass in that day ,
that the great trumpet shall be blown ,
and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria ,
and the outcasts in the land of Egypt ,
and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem .

Woe to the crown of pride ge #
uwth #,
to the drunkards of Ephraim ,
whose glorious beauty is a fading flower ,
which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine !
*
Behold ,
the Lord hath a mighty and strong one ,
which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm sa #
ar #,
as a flood of mighty waters overflowing ,
shall cast down to the earth with the hand .
*
The crown of pride ge #
uwth #,
the drunkards of Ephraim ,
shall be trodden under feet :
*
And the glorious beauty tiph #
arah #,
which is on the head of the fat valley ,
shall be a fading flower ,
and as the hasty fruit before the summer ;
which when he that looketh upon it seeth ,
while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up .
*
In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory ,
and for a diadem of beauty tiph #
arah #,
unto the residue of his people ,
*
And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment ,
and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate sha #
ar #.
*
But they #
el-leh #
also have erred through wine ,
and through strong drink are out of the way ;
the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink ,
they are swallowed up of wine ,
they are out of the way through strong drink ;
they err in vision ro #
eh #,
they stumble in judgment .
*
For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness tsow #
ah #,
so that there is no place clean .
*
Whom shall he teach knowledge de #
ah #?
and whom shall he make to understand doctrine sh @
muw #
ah #?
them that are weaned from the milk ,
and drawn from the breasts .
*
For precept must be upon precept ,
precept upon precept ;
line upon line ,
line upon line ;
here a little ze #
eyr #,
and there a little ze #
eyr #:
*
For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people .
*
To whom he said ,
This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest ;
and this is the refreshing marge #
ah #:
yet they would not hear .
*
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept ,
precept upon precept ;
line upon line ,
line upon line ;
here a little ze #
eyr #,
and there a little ze #
eyr #;
that they might go ,
and fall backward ,
and be broken ,
and snared ,
and taken .
*
Wherefore hear the word of the LORD ,
ye scornful men ,
that rule this people which is in Jerusalem .
*
Because ye have said ,
We have made a covenant with death ,
and with hell are we at agreement ;
when the overflowing scourge shall pass through (
8675 ),
it shall not come unto us :
for we have made lies our refuge ,
and under falsehood have we hid ourselves :
*
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD ,
Behold ,
I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone ,
a tried stone ,
a precious corner stone ,
a sure foundation :
he that believeth shall not make haste .
*
Judgment also will I lay to the line ,
and righteousness to the plummet :
and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies ,
and the waters shall overflow the hiding place .
*
And your covenant with death shall be disannulled ,
and your agreement with hell shall not stand ;
when the overflowing scourge shall pass through ,
then ye shall be trodden down by it .
*
From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you :
for morning by morning shall it pass over ,
by day and by night :
and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report sh @
muw #
ah #.
*
For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it :
and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it .
*
For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim ,
he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon Gib #
own #,
that he may do his work ma #
aseh #,
his strange work ma #
aseh #;
and bring to pass his act ,
his strange act .
*
Now therefore be ye not mockers ,
lest your bands be made strong :
for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption ,
even determined upon the whole earth .
*
Give ye ear ,
and hear my voice ;
hearken ,
and hear my speech .
*
Doth the plowman plow all day to sow ?
doth he open and break the clods of his ground ?
*
When he hath made plain the face thereof ,
doth he not cast abroad the fitches ,
and scatter the cummin ,
and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place ?
*
For his God doth instruct him to discretion ,
and doth teach him .
*
For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument ,
neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin ;
but the fitches are beaten out with a staff ,
and the cummin with a rod .
*
Bread corn is bruised ;
because he will not ever be threshing #
it ,
nor break it with the wheel of his cart ,
nor bruise it with his horsemen .
*
This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts ,
which is wonderful in counsel ,
and excellent in working .

add ye year to year ;
let them kill sacrifices .
