shall come to pass in that day,

in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
CHAPTER 28
Woe to the crown of pride, 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!
2
Behold, the Lord
hath a mighty and strong one,
which
as a tempest of hail
and
a destroying storm, as a flood of
mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
3
The crown of pride, the
drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:
4
And the glorious beauty, 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.
5
In that day shall the L
ORD
of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto
the residue of his people,
6
And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for
strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.

For precept
must be
upon precept, precept
upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little,
and
there a little:
11
For with stammering
lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
12
To whom he said, This
is
the rest
wherewith
ye may cause the weary to rest; and this
is
the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
13
But the word
of the L
ORD
was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon
line; here a little,
and
there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared,
and taken.
14
Wherefore hear the word of the L
ORD
, ye scornful men, that rule this people which
is
in
Jerusalem.
15
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, it shall not come unto us: for we have
made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

stone, a precious corner
stone,
a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
