King James Version
1. Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, Whose glorious beauty is a fading flower Which is at the head of the verdant valleys, To those who are overcome with wine! 2. Behold, the Lord has a mighty and strong one, Like a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, Like a flood of mighty waters overflowing, Who will bring them down to the earth with His hand. 3. The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, Will be trampled underfoot; 4. And the glorious beauty is a fading flower Which is at the head of the verdant valley, Like the first fruit before the summer, Which an observer sees; He eats it up while it is still in his hand. 5. In that day the LORD of hosts will be For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty To the remnant of His people, 6. For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate. 7. But they also have erred through wine, And through intoxicating drink are out of the way; The priest and the prophet have erred through intoxicating drink, They are swallowed up by wine, They are out of the way through intoxicating drink; They err in vision, they stumble in judgment. 8. For all tables are full of vomit and filth; No place is clean . 9. "Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts? 10. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little." 11. For with stammering lips and another tongue He will speak to this people, 12. To whom He said, "This is the rest with which You may cause the weary to rest," And, "This is the refreshing"; Yet they would not hear. 13. But the word of the LORD was to them, "Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little," That they might go and fall backward, and be broken And snared and caught. 14. Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scornful men, Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem, 15. Because you have said, "We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we are in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, It will not come to us, For we have made lies our refuge, And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves." 16. Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily. 17. Also I will make justice the measuring line, And righteousness the plummet; The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, And the waters will overflow the hiding place. 18. Your covenant with death will be annulled, And your agreement with Sheol will not stand; When the overflowing scourge passes through, Then you will be trampled down by it. 19. As often as it goes out it will take you; For morning by morning it will pass over, And by day and by night; It will be a terror just to understand the report." 20. For the bed is too short to stretch out on , And the covering so narrow that one cannot wrap himself in it . 21. For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim, He will be angry as in the Valley of Gibeon––That He may do His work, His awesome work, And bring to pass His act, His unusual act. 22. Now therefore, do not be mockers, Lest your bonds be made strong; For I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts, A destruction determined even upon the whole earth. 23. Give ear and hear my voice, Listen and hear my speech. 24. Does the plowman keep plowing all day to sow? Does he keep turning his soil and breaking the clods? 25. When he has leveled its surface, Does he not sow the black cummin And scatter the cummin, Plant the wheat in rows, The barley in the appointed place, And the spelt in its place? 26. For He instructs him in right judgment, His God teaches him. 27. For the black cummin is not threshed with a threshing sledge, Nor is a cartwheel rolled over the cummin; But the black cummin is beaten out with a stick, And the cummin with a rod. 28. Bread flour must be ground; Therefore he does not thresh it forever, Break it with his cartwheel, Or crush it with his horsemen. 29. This also comes from the LORD of hosts, Who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in guidance.
1. "Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! Add year to year; Let feasts come around. 2. Yet I will distress Ariel; There shall be heaviness and sorrow, And it shall be to Me as Ariel. 3. I will encamp against you all around, I will lay siege against you with a mound, And I will raise siegeworks against you. 4. You shall be brought down, You shall speak out of the ground; Your speech shall be low, out of the dust; Your voice shall be like a medium’s, out of the ground; And your speech shall whisper out of the dust. 5. "Moreover the multitude of your foes Shall be like fine dust, And the multitude of the terrible ones Like chaff that passes away; Yes, it shall be in an instant, suddenly. 6. You will be punished by the LORD of hosts With thunder and earthquake and great noise, With storm and tempest And the flame of devouring fire. 7. The multitude of all the nations who fight against Ariel, Even all who fight against her and her fortress, And distress her, Shall be as a dream of a night vision. 8. It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams, And look––he eats; But he awakes, and his soul is still empty; Or as when a thirsty man dreams, And look––he drinks; But he awakes, and indeed he is faint, And his soul still craves: So the multitude of all the nations shall be, Who fight against Mount Zion." 9. Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunk, but not with wine; They stagger, but not with intoxicating drink. 10. For the LORD has poured out on you The spirit of deep sleep, And has closed your eyes, namely, the prophets; And He has covered your heads, namely , the seers. 11. The whole vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is literate, saying, "Read this, please." And he says, "I cannot, for it is sealed." 12. Then the book is delivered to one who is illiterate, saying, "Read this, please." And he says, "I am not literate." 13. Therefore the Lord said: "Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips, But have removed their hearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men, 14. Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work Among this people, A marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden." 15. Woe to those who seek deep to hide their counsel far from the LORD, And their works are in the dark; They say, "Who sees us?" and, "Who knows us?" 16. Surely you have things turned around! Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay; For shall the thing made say of him who made it, "He did not make me"? Or shall the thing formed say of him who formed it, "He has no understanding"? 17. Is it not yet a very little while Till Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, And the fruitful field be esteemed as a forest? 18. In that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, And the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness. 19. The humble also shall increase their joy in the LORD, And the poor among men shall rejoice In the Holy One of Israel. 20. For the terrible one is brought to nothing, The scornful one is consumed, And all who watch for iniquity are cut off–– 21. Who make a man an offender by a word, And lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, And turn aside the just by empty words. 22. Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: "Jacob shall not now be ashamed, Nor shall his face now grow pale; 23. But when he sees his children, The work of My hands, in his midst, They will hallow My name, And hallow the Holy One of Jacob, And fear the God of Israel. 24. These also who erred in spirit will come to understanding, And those who complained will learn doctrine."
1. Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary. 2. For a tabernacle was prepared: the first part , in which was the lampstand, the table, and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary; 3. and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All, 4. which had the golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were the golden pot that had the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant; 5. and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail. 6. Now when these things had been thus prepared, the priests always went into the first part of the tabernacle, performing the services. 7. But into the second part the high priest went alone once a year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the people’s sins committed in ignorance; 8. the Holy Spirit indicating this, that the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing. 9. It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience–– 10. concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation. 11. But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. 12. Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. 13. For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, 14. how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15. And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. 16. For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17. For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. 18. Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood. 19. For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20. saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you." 21. Then likewise he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry. 22. And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission. 23. Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24. For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; 25. not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another–– 26. He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 27. And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28. so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.
