Οὐαὶ τῷ στεφάνῳ τῆς ὕβρεως, οἱ μισθωτοὶ Ἐφραίιμ, τὸ ἄνθος τὸ ἐκπεσὸν ἐκ τῆς δόξης ἐπὶ τῆς κορυφῆς τοῦ
ὄρους τοῦ παχέως, οἶ μεθύοντες ἄνευ οἴνου.

ἰδοὺ ἰσχυρὸν καὶ σκληρὸν ὃ θυμὸς Κυρίου, ὣς χάλαζα καταφερομένη οὐκ ἔχουσα σκέπην, καταφερομένη· ὡς ὕδατος πολὺ πλῆθος σῦρον χώραν,
τῇ γῇ ποιήσει ἀνάπαυσιν· ταῖς χερσίν,

καὶ τοῖς ποσὶν καταπατη-
θήσεται ὃ στέφανος τῆς ὕβρεως, οἱ μισθωτοὶ τοῦ Ἐφράιμ.

καὶ ἔσται τὸ ἄνθος τὸ ἐκπεσὸν τῆς ἐλπίδος τῆς δόξης ἐπ’ ἄκρου τοῦ ὅρους Καὶ τοῦ ὑψηλοῦ· ὡς πρόδρομος σύκου, ὃ ἰδὼν αὐτό, πρὶν ἢ εἷς τὴν χεῖρα
αὐτοῦ λαβεῖν, θελήσει αὐτὸ καταπιεῖν.

τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἔσται Κύριος σαβαὼθ ὃ στέφανος τῆς ἐλπίδος ὁ πλακεὶς τῆς δόξης, τῷ ¹
καταλειφθέντι μου λαῷ

καὶ καταλειφθήσονται ἐπὶ πνεύματι κρίσεως οὗτοι γὰρ οἴνῳ πεπλανημένοι
ἐπὶ κρίσιν καὶ ἰσχὺν κωλύων ἀνελεῖν.

οὗτοι γάρ οἴνῳ πεπλανημένοι εἰσίν· ἐπλανήθησαν διὰ τὸ σίκερα, ἱερεὺς καὶ προφήτης ἐξέστησαν διὰ τὸν οἶνον, ἐσείσθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς μέθης τοῦ σίκερα, ἐπλανήθησαν·
τοῦτό ἐστιν φάντασμα.

ἀρὰ ἔδεται ταύτην τὴν βουλήν· αὕτη
ἡ βουλὴ ἕνεκεν πλεονεξίας.

τίνι ἀνηγγείλαμεν κακά, καὶ τίνι ἀνηγγείλαμεν ἀγγελίαν; οἱ ἀπογεγαλακτισμένοι ἀπὸ γάλακτος, οἱ
ἀπεσπασμένοι ἀπὸ μαστοῦ.

θλίψιν ἐπὶ θλίψιν προσδέχου, ἐλπίδα
ἐπ’ ἐλπίδι, ἔτι μικρὸν ἔτι μικρόν,

διὰ φαυλισμὸν χειλέων, διὸ.
γλώσσης ἑτέρας· ὅτι λαλήσουσιν τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ,

λέγοντες αὐτῷ Τοῦτο τὸ ἀνάπαυμα τῷ πεινῶντι καὶ τοῦτο τὸ σύντριμμα, καὶ οὔκ
ἠθέλησαν ἀκούειν.

καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῖς τὸ λόγιον Κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ θλίψις ἐπὶ θλίψιν, ἐλπὶς ἐπ’ ἐλπίδι, ἔτι μικρὸν ἔτι μικρόν, ἵνα πορευθῶσιν καὶ πέσωσιν εἷς τὰ. ὀπίσω, καὶ κινδυνεύσουσι καὶ
συντριβήσονται καὶ ἁλώσονται.

Διὰ τοῦτο ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου, ἄνδρες τεθλιμμένοι καὶ ἄρχοντες τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ,

ὅτι εἴπατε Ἐποιήσαμεν διαθήκην μετὰ. τοῦ ᾅδου, καὶ μετὰ τοῦ θανάτου συνθήκας· καταιγὶς φερομένη ἐὰν παρέλθῃ, οὗ μὴ ἔλθῃ ἡμῖν· ἐθήκαμεν ψεῦδος τὴν ἐλπίδα ἡμῶν, καὶ τῷ ψεύδει σκεπασθησόμεθα.
θησόμεθα.

διὰ τοῦτο οὕτως λέγει Κύριος, Κύριος, ἐγὼ ἐμβαλῶ εἷς τὰ. θεμέλια Σιὼν λίθον πολυτελῆ ἐκλεκτὸν ἀκρογωνιαῖον ἔντιμον, εἷς τὸ, θεμέλια αὐτῆς, καὶ ὃ πιστεύων ἐπ’ αὐτῷ οὔ μὴ καταισχυνθῇ.

καὶ θήσω κρίσιν εἷς ἐλπίδα, ἡ δὲ ἐλεημοσύνη μου εἷς σταθμούς, καὶ οἶ πεποιθότες μάτην ψεύδει· ὅτι οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ὑμᾶς καταιγίς,

μὴ καὶ ἀφέλῃ ὑμῶν τὴν διαθήκην τοῦ θανάτου, καὶ ἡ ἐλπὶς ὑμῶν ² ἦ πρὸς τὸν ᾅδην οὗ μὴ ἐμμείνῃ· καταιγὶς φερομένη ἐὰν ἐπέλθῃ,
ἔσεσθε αὐτῇ εἷς καταπάτημα.

ὅταν παρέλθῃ, λήμψεται ὑμᾶς· πρωὶ πρωὶ παρελεύσεται ἡμέρας, καὶ ἓν νυκτὶ ἔσται ἐλπὶς πονηρά.
μάθετε ἀκούειν

στενοχωρούμενοι· οὔ δυνάμεθα μάχεσθαι, αὐτοὶ
δὲ ἀσθενοῦμεν τοῦ ἡμᾶς συναχθῆναι.

ὥσπερ ὅρος ἀσεβῶν ἀναστήσεται, καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ φάραγγι Γαβαών, μετὰ θυμοῦ ποιήσει τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ, πικρίας ἔργον· ὁ δὲ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ ἀλλοτρίως χρήσεται,
καὶ ἡ πικρία αὐτοῦ ἀλλοτρία.

καὶ ὑμεῖς μὴ εὐφρανθείητε, μηδὲ ἰσχυσάτωσαν ὑμῶν οἶ δεσμοί· διότι συντετελεσμένα καὶ συντετμημένα πράγματα ἥκουσα παρὰ. Κυρίου σαβαὼθ ἅ ποιήσει ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν
γῆν.

Ἐνωτίζεσθε καὶ ἀκούσατε τῆς φωνῆς μου, προσέχετε καὶ
ἀκούετε τοὺς λόγους μου.

μὴ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν μέλλει ὃ ἀροτριῶν
ἀροτριᾶν ; ἦ σπόρον προετοιμάσει πρὶν ἐργάσασθαι τὴν γῆν;

καὶ ὅταν ὁμαλίσῃ αὐτῆς τὸ πρόσωπον, πρῶτον σπείρει μικρὸν μελάνθιον καὶ κύμινον, καὶ πάλιν πυρόν, καὶ κριθὴν καὶ ζέαν ἐν τοῖς ὁρίοις
σου

καὶ παιδευθήσῃ κρίματι θεοῦ σου, καὶ εὐφρανθήσῃ.

οὐ γὰρ μετὰ σκληρότητος καθαίρεται τὸ μελάνθιον, οὐδὲ τροχὸς ἀμάξης περιάξει ἐπὶ τὸ κύμινον· ἀλλὰ. ῥάβδῳ ἐκτινάσσεται τὸ
μελάνθιον, τὸ δὲ κύμινον

μετὰ ἄρτου βρωθήσεται. οὗ γὰρ εἷς τὸν αἰῶνα ἐγὼ ὑμῖν ὀργισθήσομαι, οὐδὲ φωνὴ τῆς πικρίας μου
καταπατήσει ὑμᾶς.

καὶ ταῦτα παρὰ Κυρίου σαβαὼθ ἐξῆλθεν τὰ τέρατα· βουλεύσασθε, ὑψώσατε ματαίαν παράκλησιν.

Οὐαὶ τῷ στεφάνῳ τῆς ὕβρεως. οἱ μισθωται Ἐφράιμ, τὸ ἄνθος τὸ ἐκπεσὸν ἐκ τῆς δόξης ἐπὶ τῆς κορυφῆς τοῦ ὄρους τοῦ παχέος, οἰ μεθύοντες ἄνευ οἴνου.

ἰδοὺ ἰσχυρὸν καὶ σκληρὸν ὁ θυμὸς Κυρίου, ὡς χάλαζα καταφερομένη οὐκ ἔχουσα σκέπην, βίᾳ καταφερομένη· ὡς ὕδατος πολὺ πλῆθος σῦρον χώραν, τῇ γῇ ποιήσει ἀνάπαυμα· ταῖς χερσὶν

καὶ τοῖς ποσὶν καταπατηθήσεται ὁ στέφανος τῆς ὕβρεως, οἱ μισθωτοὶ Ἐφραίμ.

καὶ ἔσται τὸ ἄνθος τὸ ἐκπεσὸν τῆς ἐλπίδος τῆς ζωῆς ἐπʼ ἄκρου τοῦ ὄρους τοῦ ὑψηλοῦ ὡς πρόδρομος σύκου ὁ ἰδὼν αὐτό, πρὶν εἰς τὴν χειρα αὐτοῦ λαβειν αὐτὸ, θελήσει αὐτὸ καταπιεῖν.

τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἔσται Κύριος σαβαὼθ ὁ στέφανος τῆς ἐλπίδος ὁ πλεκεὶς τῆς δοξης τῷ καταλειφθέντι τοῦ λαοῦ·

καταλειφθησοντι ἐπὶ πνεύματι κρίσεως ἐπὶ κρίσιν καὶ ἰσχὺν κωλύων ἀνελεῖν.

οὗτοι γὰρ οἴνῳ πεπλημμελημένοι εἰσίν· ἐπλανήθησαν διὰ τὸ σίκερα, ἱερεὺς καὶ προφήτης ἐξέστησαν διὰ τὸ σικερα, κατεπι θησαν διὰ τὸν οἶνον, ἐσείσθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς μέθης, ἐπλανήθησαν· τοῦτ᾿ ἔστι φάσμα.

ἀρὰ ἔδεται ταύτην τὴν βουλὴν· αὕτη γὰρ ἡ βουλὴ ἕνεκεν πλεονεξίας.

τίνι ἀνηγγείλαμεν κακά, καὶ τίνι ἀνηγγείλαμεν ἀγγελίαν; οἱ ἀπογεγαλακτισμένοι ἀπὸ γάλακτος, οἱ ἀποσπασμένοι ἀπὸ μαστοῦ.

θλίψιν ἐπὶ θλίψιν προσδέχου, ἐλπίδα ἐπʼ ἐλπίδι, ἔτι μικρὸν ἔτι μικρόν,

διὰ φαυλισμὸν χειλέων, γλώσσης ἐτέρας· ὅτι λαλήσουσιν τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ

λέγοντες αὐτοῖς Τοῦτο τὸ ἀναπαυμα τῷ πεινῶντι καὶ τοῦτο τὸ σύντριμμα, καὶ ²³ οὐκ ἠθέλησαν ἀκούειν.

καὶ ἔσται αὐτοις τὸ λογιον Κυρίου θλίψις ⁴ ἐπὶ θλιψιω, ἐλπὶς ἐπὶ ἐλπίδι, ἔτι μικρὸν ἔτι μικρὸν ἵνα πορεύσαωσιν καὶ πέσωσιν ὀπίσω, καὶ συντριβήσονται καὶ κινδυνεύσουσιν καὶ ἁλώσονται.

Διὰ τοῦτο ἀκούσατε λόγον τοῦ κυρίου, ἄνδρες τεθλιμμένοι καὶ ἄρχοντες τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου τοῦ ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ,

ὅτι εἴπατε Ἐποιήσαμεν διαθήκην μετὰ τοῦ ἄδον, καὶ μετὰ τοῦ θανάτου συνθήκας· καταιγὶς φερομένη ἐὰν παρέλθη, οὐ μὴ ἔλθῃ ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς· ἐθήκαμεν ψεῦδος τὴν ἐλπίδα ἡμῶν, καὶ τῷ ψεύδει σκεπασθησόμεθα.

διὰ τοῦτο οὕτως λέγει κύριος Κύριος Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐμβάλλω εἰς τὰ θεμέλια Σειὼν λίθον πολυτελῆ ἐκλεκτὸν ἀκρογωνιαῖον ἔντιμον, εἰς τὰ θεμέλια αὐτῆς, καὶ ὁ πιστεύων οὐ μὴ καταισχυνθῇ.

και θήσω κρίσιν εἰς ἐλπίδα, ἡ δὲ ἐλεημοσύνη μου εἰς σταθμούς, καὶ οἱ πεποιθότες μάτην ψεύδει· ὅτι μὴ παρέλθῃ ὑμᾶς καταιγίς.

μὴ καὶ ἀφέλῃ ὑμῶν τὴν διαθήκην τοῦ θανάτου, καὶ ἡ ἐλπὶς ὑμῶν ἡ πρὸς τὸν ᾄδην, οὐ μὴ ἐμμείνῃ· καταιγὶς φερομένη ἐὰν ἐπέλθῃ, ἔσεσθε αὐτῇ εἰς καταπάτημα.

ὅταν παρέλθῃ, λήμψεται ὑμάς· πρωὶ πρωὶ παρελεύσεται ἡμέρας, καὶ ἐν :νυκτὶ ἔσται ἐλπὶς πονηρά. μάθετε ἀκούειν

στενοχωρούμενοι· οὐ δυνάμεθα μάχεσθαι, αὐτοὶ δὲ ἀσθενοῦμεν τοῦ ἡμᾶς συναχθῆναι.

ὥσπερ ὄρος ἀσεβῶν ἀναστήσεται Κύριος, καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ φάραγγι Γαβαὼν, μετὰ θυμοῖ ποιήσει τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ, πικρίς ἔργον· ὁ δὲ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ ἀλλοτρίως χρήσεται, καὶ ἡ σαπρία αὐτοῦ ἀλλοτρία.

καὶ ὑμεις μὴ εὐφρανθείητε, μηδέ ἰσχυσάτωσαν ὑμῶν οἱ δεσμοί διότι συντετελεσμένα καὶ συντετμημένα πράγματα ᾔκουσα παρὰ Κυρίου σαβαὼθ ἃ ποιήσει ⁵⁷ ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.

Ἐνωτίζεσθε καὶ ἀκούετε τῆς φωνῆς μου. προσέχετε καὶ ἀκούετε τοὺς λόγους μου.

μὴ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν ἀροτριάσει ὁ ἀροτριῶν; ἡ σπόρον προετοιμάσει πρὶν ἐργάσασθαι τὴν γῆν;

οὐχ ὅταν ὁμαλίσῃ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς, τότε σπείρει μικρὸν μικρὸν μελάνθιον κύμινον, καὶ πάλιν σπείρει πυρόν, κριθὴν καὶ κέγχρον καὶ ζέαν ἐν τοῖς ὁρίοις σου;

καὶ παιδευθήσει κρίματι θεοῦ, καὶ εὐφρανθήσῃ.

οὐ γὰρ μετὰ σκληρότητος καθαίρεται τὸ μελάνθιον, οὐδὲ τροχὸς ἁμάξης περιάξει ἐπὶ τὸ κύμινον· ἀλλὰ ῥάβδῳ τινάσσεται τὸ μελάνθιον, τὸ δὲ κύμινον

μετὰ ἄρτου βρωθήσεται. οὐ γὰρ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἐγὼ ὑμῖν ὀργισθήσομαι. οὐδὲ φωνὴ τῆς πικρίας μου καταπατήσει ὑμᾶς.

καὶ ταῦτα παρὰ Κυρίοι σαβαὼθ ἐξῆλθεν τὰ τέρατα· βουλεύσασθε, ὑψώσατε ματαίαν παράκλησιν.

Isaiah Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 28 focus

Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley of those who are overcome with wine!

Behold, the Lord has a mighty and strong one; as a tempest of hail, a destroying storm, as a tempest of mighty waters overflowing, will he cast down to the earth with the hand.

The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot:

and the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as the first-ripe fig before the summer; which when he who looks on it sees, while it is yet in his hand he eats it up.

In that day will Yahweh of Hosts become a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, to the residue of his people;

and a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

Even these reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink; the priest and the prophet reel with strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they stagger with strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

For all tables are full of vomit [and] filthiness, [so that there is] no place [clean].

Whom will he teach knowledge? and whom will he make to understand the message? those who are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?

For it is precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little.

No, but by [men of] strange lips and with another language will he speak to this people;

to whom he said, This is the rest, give you rest to him who is weary; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

Therefore shall the word of Yahweh be to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

Why hear the word of Yahweh, you scoffers, that rule this people that is in Jerusalem:

Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner -[stone] of sure foundation: he who believes shall not be in haste.

I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place.

Your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then you shall be trodden down by it.

As often as it passes though, it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night: and it shall be nothing but terror to understand the message.

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 Yahweh will rise up as on Mount Perazim, he will be angry as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his strange work, and bring to pass his act, his strange act.

Now therefore don’t you be scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for a decree of destruction have I heard from the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts, on the whole earth.

Give you ear, and hear my voice; listen, and hear my speech.

Does he who plows to sow plow continually? does he [continually] open and harrow his ground?

When he has leveled the surface of it, doesn’t he cast abroad the dill, and scatter the cumin, and put in the wheat in rows, and the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in the border of it?

For his God does instruct him aright, [and] does teach him.

For the dill are not threshed with a sharp [threshing] instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about on the cumin; but the dill are beaten out with a staff, and the cumin with a rod.

Bread [grain] is ground; for he will not be always threshing it: and though the wheel of his cart and his horses scatter it, he does not grind it.

This also comes forth from Yahweh of Hosts, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.
