Chap. XXVIII.
note
Tribulations are threatned to the tenne tribes of Israel, for their pride, and
voluptuosnes. (5. God stil protecting some who serue him sincerely) 7
and for contempt of Religion. 16. But God wil lay a sure fundation in
sion, 20. wil punish the wicked, 24. and comforth the good.
1 VVoe to the crowne of pride, to the drunkards of
noteEphraim, and to the flowre falling downe from
the glorie of his exultation, which were in the toppe of the
most fatte valley, erring by wine. note
2 Behold our Lord is valiant
and strong, as the violence of hayle: a whirlewind breaking,
the violence of manie waters ouerflowing, & sent forth
vpon a large ground.
3 The crowne of pride of the drunkards
of Ephraim shal be troden vnder feete.
4 And the
flowre of the glorie of his exultation, which is vpon the toppe
of the valley of fatte ones, shal be falling as a timely fruite before
the ripenesse of autumme: which when he that seeth
it shal behold, as soone as he taketh it in his hand, he wil deuoure
it.
5 noteIn that day the Lord of hostes shal be a crowne
of glorie, and note a garland of exultation to the residue of his
people:
6 and note a spirit of iudgement to him that sitteth in
iudgement, and note strength to them that returne out of battel
to the gate.
7 But these also haue bene ignorant because of
wine, and by drunkennes haue erred: the priest and the prophete
haue bene ignorant because of drunkennes, they are
swalowed vp with wine, they haue erred in drunkennes, they
haue not knowne him that seeth, they haue bene ignorant of
iudgement.
8 For al tables were filled with vomiting and
filth, so that there was no more place.
9 Whom shal he teach
knowledge? and whom shal he make to vnderstand the
thing heard? them that are weyned from the milke, that are
plucked away from the breasts.
10 For command recommand,
command recommand; expect reexpect, expect reexpect;
a litle there, a litle there.
11 For in the speach of lippe, and in
an other tougue he wil speake to his people.
12 To whom
-- --
he sayd: This is my rest, refresh the wearie, and this is my
refreshing: & they would not heare.
13 And the word of our
Lord shal be to them; note command recommand, command
recommand; expect reexpect, expect reexpect; a litle there
a litle there: that they may goe, and fal backward, and be
destroyed, and snared, and taken.
14 For this cause heare the
word of our Lord ye scorneful men, which rule ouer my
people, that is in Ierusalem.
15 For you haue sayd: We haue
stroken a league with death, and with hel we haue made a
couenant. The scourge ouerflowing when it shal passe, shal
not come vpon vs: because we haue made lying our hope,
and with lying we are protected.
16 Therfore thus sayth our
Lord God: Behold I wil send in the foundations of Sion a
stone, an approued stone, a corner stone, pretious founded in
the foundation. He that beleueth, let him not make hast.
17 And I wil put iudgement in weight, and iustice in measure:
and haile shal ouerthrow the hope of lying: and waters shal
ouerflow the protection.
18 And your league with death shal
be abolished, and your couenant with hel shal not stand:
when the scourge ouerflowing shal passe, you shal be troden
downe of it.
19 Whensoeuer it shal passe through, it shal take
you away: because in the morning early it shal passe through,
in the day and in the night, and vexation alone shal geue
vnderstanding in the hearing.
20 For the bed is streitened, so
that one must fal out, and a short mantel can not couer both.
21 For our Lord shal stand as in the mount of diuisions: as in
the valley, which is in Gabaon, shal he be angrie: that he may
doe his worke, his strange worke: that he may worke, his
worke is strange from him.
22 And now mocke not, lest perhaps
your bonds be tied strayte. For I haue heard of our Lord
the God of hostes consummation and abridgement vpon al the
earth.
23 Harken with your eares, and heare my voice, attend,
and heare my speach.
24 Wil note the ploughman plowe al the day
to sow, wil he cut and harrow his ground?
25 Wil he not when
he hath made euen the face therof, sprinkle cummine, and
place the wheate by order, and the barley, and millet, and
vetche, in their bondes?
26 And his God wil instruct him in
iudgement: he wil teach him.
27 For note gith shal not be threshed
with instruments that haue teeth, neither shal the wayne
wheele turne about vpon cummine: but gith shal be beaten
out with a rodde, and cummine with a staffe.
28 But bread
-- --
corne shal be broken smal: note but the thresher shal not thresh
it for euer, neither shal the wayne wheele vexe it, nor breake
it with the teeth thereof.
29 And this is come forth from our
Lord the God of hostes, that he might make his counsel meruelous,
and magnifie iustice.
