1 WOE TO! [THE] CROWN OF <THE> PRIDE OF [THE] DRUNKARDS OF EPHRAIM AND A FLOWER WITHERING [THE] BEAUTY OF SPLENDOR ITS WHICH [IS] ON [THE] HEAD OF A VALLEY OF FATNESS<ES> [THOSE] STRUCK DOWN OF WINE
The Captivity of Ephraim
1 Woe to the majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards,
to the fading flower of his glorious splendor,
set on the summit above the fertile valley,
the pride of those overcome by wine.
2 THERE! A MIGHTY [ONE] AND A STRONG [ONE] [BELONGS] TO [THE] LORD LIKE A STORM OF HAIL A TEMPEST OF DESTRUCTION LIKE A STORM OF WATER MIGHTY OVERFLOWING HE WILL THRUST [IT] DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A HAND
2 Behold, the Lord has one
who is strong and mighty.
Like a hailstorm or destructive tempest,
like a driving rain or flooding downpour,
he will smash that crown to the ground.
3 WITH FEET THEY WILL BE TRAMPLED [THE] CROWN OF <THE> PRIDE OF [THE] DRUNKARDS OF EPHRAIM
3 The majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards
will be trampled underfoot.
4 AND IT WILL BE A FLOWER <OF> WITHERING [THE] BEAUTY OF SPLENDOR ITS WHICH [IS] ON [THE] HEAD OF A VALLEY OF FATNESS<ES> LIKE AN EARLY FIG <IN> BEFORE SUMMER WHICH HE WILL SEE THE [ONE WHO] SEES <OBJ.> IT WHILE STILL IT [IS] IN HAND HIS HE WILL SWALLOW IT
4 The fading flower of his beautiful splendor,
set on the summit above the fertile valley,
will be like a ripe fig before the summer harvest:
Whoever sees it will take it in his hand and swallow it.
5 IN THE DAY <THE> THAT HE WILL BECOME YAHWEH OF HOSTS <INTO> A CROWN OF BEAUTY AND <INTO> A DIADEM OF SPLENDOR FOR [THE] REMNANT OF PEOPLE HIS
5 On that day the LORD of Hosts will be a crown of glory,
a diadem of splendor to the remnant of His people,
6 AND <INTO> A SPIRIT OF JUSTICE FOR THE [ONE WHO] SITS ON <THE> JUDGMENT AND <INTO> STRENGTH [THOSE WHO] TURN BACK <OF> BATTLE [THE] GATE TOWARDS
6 a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,
and a strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate.
7 AND ALSO THESE WITH <THE> WINE THEY REELED AND WITH <THE> STRONG DRINK THEY STAGGERED PRIEST AND PROPHET THEY REELED WITH <THE> STRONG DRINK THEY WERE CONFUSED FROM <THE> WINE THEY STAGGERED FROM <THE> STRONG DRINK THEY REELED IN THE VISION THEY TOTTERED DECISION
7 These also stagger from wine
and stumble from strong drink:
Priests and prophets reel from strong drink
and are befuddled by wine.
They stumble because of strong drink,
muddled in their visions and stumbling in their judgments.
8 FOR ALL [THE] TABLES THEY ARE FULL VOMIT FILTH NOT ROOM
8 For all their tables are covered with vomit;
there is not a place without filth.
9 <OBJ.> WHOM? WILL HE TEACH KNOWLEDGE AND <OBJ.> WHOM? WILL HE MAKE UNDERSTAND [THE] MESSAGE [THOSE] WEANED FROM MILK [ONES] REMOVED FROM BREASTS
9 Whom is He trying to teach
To whom is He explaining His message?
To infants just weaned from milk?
To babies removed from the breast?
10 FOR COMMAND TO [THE] COMMAND COMMAND TO [THE] COMMAND LINE TO [THE] LINE LINE TO [THE] LINE A LITTLE THERE A LITTLE THERE
10 For they hear:
“Order on order, order on order,
line on line, line on line;
a little here, a little there.”
11 FOR BY STAMMERINGS OF LIP AND BY A TONGUE ANOTHER HE WILL SPEAK TO THE PEOPLE <THE> THIS
11 Indeed, with mocking lips and foreign tongues,
He will speak to this people
12 WHOM HE SAID TO THEM THIS [IS] THE RESTING PLACE GIVE REST TO THE WEARY AND THIS [IS] THE PLACE OF REST AND NOT THEY WERE WILLING TO LISTEN
12 to whom He has said:
“This is the place of rest, let the weary rest;
this is the place of repose.”
But they would not listen.
13 AND IT WILL BE TO THEM [THE] WORD OF YAHWEH COMMAND TO [THE] COMMAND COMMAND TO [THE] COMMAND LINE TO [THE] LINE LINE TO [THE] LINE A LITTLE THERE A LITTLE THERE SO THAT THEY MAY GO AND THEY WILL STUMBLE BACKWARDS AND THEY WILL BE BROKEN AND THEY WILL BE ENSNARED AND THEY WILL BE CAPTURED
13 Then the word of the LORD to them will become:
“Order on order, order on order,
line on line, line on line;
a little here, a little there,”
so that they will go stumbling backward
and will be injured, ensnared, and captured.
14 <TO> THEREFORE HEAR [THE] WORD OF YAHWEH O PEOPLE OF MOCKERY O RULERS OF THE PEOPLE <THE> THIS WHO [ARE] IN JERUSALEM
15 FOR YOU HAVE SAID WE HAVE MADE A COVENANT WITH DEATH AND WITH SHEOL WE HAVE MADE AN AGREEMENT A SCOURGE OVERFLOWING IF IT WILL PASS BY NOT IT WILL COME TO US FOR WE HAVE MADE FALSEHOOD REFUGE OUR AND IN <THE> DECEPTION WE HAVE HIDDEN OURSELVES
15 For you said, “We have made a covenant with death;
we have fashioned an agreement with Sheol.
When the overwhelming scourge passes through
it will not touch us,
because we have made lies our refuge
and falsehood our hiding place.”
16 <TO> THEREFORE THUS HE SAYS [THE] LORD YAHWEH HERE I HE HAS LAID IN ZION A STONE A STONE OF TESTING A CORNER OF PRECIOUSNESS OF A FOUNDATION FOUNDED THE [ONE WHO] TRUSTS NOT HE WILL MAKE HASTE
16 So this is what the Lord GOD says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;
the one who believes will never be shaken.
17 AND I WILL MAKE JUSTICE <INTO> A MEASURING-LINE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS <INTO> A LEVELING TOOL AND IT WILL SWEEP AWAY HAIL [THE] REFUGE OF FALSEHOOD AND [THE] SHELTER WATERS THEY WILL OVERFLOW
17 I will make justice the measuring line
and righteousness the level.
Hail will sweep away your refuge of lies,
and water will flood your hiding place.
18 AND IT WILL BE ANNULLED COVENANT YOUR WITH DEATH AND AGREEMENT YOUR WITH SHEOL NOT IT WILL STAND A SCOURGE OVERFLOWING IF IT WILL PASS BY AND YOU WILL BECOME FOR IT <INTO> A TRAMPLING PLACE
18 Your covenant with death will be dissolved,
and your agreement with Sheol will not stand.
When the overwhelming scourge passes through,
you will be trampled by it.
19 AS OFTEN AS PASSES BY IT IT WILL TAKE <OBJ.> YOU FOR IN THE MORNING IN THE MORNING IT WILL PASS BY IN THE DAY AND IN THE NIGHT AND IT WILL BE ONLY TERROR TO UNDERSTAND [THE] MESSAGE
19 As often as it passes through,
it will carry you away;
it will sweep through morning after morning,
by day and by night
The understanding of this message
will bring sheer terror.
20 FOR IT IS [TOO] SHORT THE BED FOR STRETCHING ONESELF AND THE BLANKET IT IS NARROW WHEN WRAPS ONESELF UP
20 Indeed, the bed is too short to stretch out on,
and the blanket too small to wrap around you.
21 FOR LIKE [THE] MOUNTAIN OF PERAZIM HE WILL ARISE YAHWEH LIKE A VALLEY IN GIBEON HE WILL RAGE TO DO DEED HIS [IS] STRANGE DEED HIS AND TO WORK WORK HIS [IS] ALIEN WORK HIS
21 For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim.
He will rouse Himself as in the Valley of Gibeon,
to do His work, His strange work,
and to perform His task, His disturbing task.
22 AND THEREFORE MAY NOT YOU SHOW YOURSELF A MOCKER LEST THEY SHOULD BECOME STRONG FETTERS YOUR FOR COMPLETE DESTRUCTION AND [WHAT] HAS BEEN DECIDED I HAVE HEARD FROM WITH [THE] LORD YAHWEH OF HOSTS ON ALL THE LAND
22 So now, do not mock,
or your shackles will become heavier.
Indeed, I have heard from the Lord GOD of Hosts
a decree of destruction against the whole land.
23 GIVE EAR AND HEAR VOICE MY PAY ATTENTION AND HEAR UTTERANCE MY
Listen and Hear
23 Listen and hear my voice.
Pay attention and hear what I say.
24 ¿ ALL THE DAY DOES HE PLOW THE PLOWMAN TO SOW DOES HE LOOSEN? AND HE MAY HARROW? LAND HIS
24 Does the plowman plow for planting every day?
Does he continuously loosen and harrow the soil?
25 ¿ NOT IF HE HAS LEVELED SURFACE ITS AND DOES HE SCATTER BLACK CUMIN AND CUMIN DOES HE SPRINKLE? AND DOES HE PUT? WHEAT A ROW AND BARLEY AN APPOINTED [PLACE] AND SPELT TERRITORY ITS
25 When he has leveled its surface,
does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin?
He plants wheat in rows and barley in plots,
and rye within its border.
26 AND HE INSTRUCTS HIM TO <THE> JUDGMENT GOD HIS HE TEACHES HIM
26 For his God instructs
and teaches him properly.
27 THAT NOT WITH <THE> THRESHING SLEDGE IT IS THRESHED BLACK CUMIN AND A WHEEL OF A CART OVER CUMIN IT IS TURNED FOR WITH <THE> STAFF IT IS BEATEN OUT BLACK CUMIN AND CUMIN WITH <THE> ROD
27 Surely caraway is not threshed with a sledge,
and the wheel of a cart is not rolled over the cumin.
But caraway is beaten out with a stick,
and cumin with a rod.
28 BREAD IT IS CRUSHED FOR NOT TO PERPETUITY CERTAINLY <TO THRESH> ANYONE THRESHES IT AND HE SETS IN MOTION [THE] WHEEL OF CART HIS AND HORSES HIS NOT HE CRUSHES IT
28 Grain for bread must be ground,
but it is not endlessly threshed
Though the wheels of the cart roll over it,
the horses do not crush it.
29 ALSO THIS FROM WITH YAHWEH OF HOSTS IT HAS GONE OUT HE HAS MADE WONDERFUL COUNSEL HE HAS MADE GREAT SOUND WISDOM
29 This also comes from the LORD of Hosts,
who is wonderful in counsel
and excellent in wisdom.
