Isaiah 28:19-29
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 28
19
As often as it passes through, it will seize you;
For morning after morning it will pass through,
anytime
during the day or night,
And it will be sheer terror to understand what it means.'
20
The bed is too short on which to stretch out,
And the blanket is too small to wrap oneself in.
21
For the
Lord
will rise up as
at
Mount Perazim,
He will be stirred up as in the Valley of Gibeon,
To do His task, His unusual task,
And to work His work, His extraordinary work.
22
And now do not carry on as scoffers,
Or your shackles will be made stronger;
For I have heard from the Lord
God
of armies
Of decisive destruction on all the earth.
23
Listen and hear my voice,
Pay attention and hear my words.
24
Does the farmer plow continually to plant seed?
Does he
continually
turn and break up his ground?
25
Does he not level its surface
And sow dill and scatter cumin
And plant wheat in rows,
Barley in its place and rye within its area?
26
For his God instructs and teaches him properly.
27
For dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge,
Nor is the cartwheel driven over cumin;
But dill is beaten out with a rod, and cumin with a club.
28
Grain for
bread is crushed,
Indeed, he does not continue to thresh it forever.
Because the wheel of
his
cart and his horses
eventually
damage
it,
He does not thresh it
longer.
29
This also comes from the
Lord
of armies,
Who
has made
His
counsel wonderful and
His
wisdom great.
King James Version
Chapter 28
19
From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
20
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.
21
For the
Lord
shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
22
Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord
God
of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
23
Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
24
Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?
25
When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?
26
For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.
27
For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.
28
Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horsemen.
29
This also cometh forth from the
Lord
of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 28
19
Every time it passes through,
it will carry you away;
it will pass through every morning—
every day and every night.
Only terror will cause you
to understand the message.
20
Indeed, the bed is too short to stretch out on,
and its cover too small to wrap up in.
21
For the
Lord
will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim.
He will rise in wrath, as at the Valley of Gibeon,
to do his work, his unexpected work,
and to perform his task, his unfamiliar task.
22
So now, do not scoff,
or your shackles will become stronger.
Indeed, I have heard from the Lord
God
of Armies
a decree of destruction for the whole land.
23
Listen and hear my voice.
Pay attention and hear what I say.
24
Does the plowman plow every day to plant seed?
Does he continuously break up and cultivate the soil?
25
When he has leveled its surface,
does he not then scatter black cumin and sow cumin?
He plants wheat in rows and barley in plots,
with spelt as their border.
26
His God teaches him order;
he instructs him.
27
Certainly black cumin is not threshed
with a threshing board,
and a cart wheel is not rolled over the cumin.
But black cumin is beaten out with a stick,
and cumin with a rod.
28
Bread grain is crushed,
but is not threshed endlessly.
Though the wheel of the farmer’s cart rumbles,
his horses do not crush it.
29
This also comes from the
Lord
of Armies.
He gives wondrous advice;
he gives great wisdom.
New Living Translation
Chapter 28
19
Again and again that flood will come,
morning after morning,
day and night,
until you are carried away.'
This message will bring terror to your people.
20
The bed you have made is too short to lie on.
The blankets are too narrow to cover you.
21
The
Lord
will come as he did against the Philistines at Mount Perazim
and against the Amorites at Gibeon.
He will come to do a strange thing;
he will come to do an unusual deed:
22
For the Lord, the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies,
has plainly said that he is determined to crush the whole land.
So scoff no more,
or your punishment will be even greater.
23
Listen to me;
listen, and pay close attention.
24
Does a farmer always plow and never sow?
Is he forever cultivating the soil and never planting?
25
Does he not finally plant his seeds —
black cumin, cumin, wheat, barley, and emmer wheat —
each in its proper way,
and each in its proper place?
26
The farmer knows just what to do,
for God has given him understanding.
27
A heavy sledge is never used to thresh black cumin;
rather, it is beaten with a light stick.
A threshing wheel is never rolled on cumin;
instead, it is beaten lightly with a flail.
28
Grain for bread is easily crushed,
so he doesn’t keep on pounding it.
He threshes it under the wheels of a cart,
but he doesn’t pulverize it.
29
The
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies is a wonderful teacher,
and he gives the farmer great wisdom.
English Standard Version
Chapter 28
19
As often as it passes through it will take you;
for morning by morning it will pass through,
by day and by night;
and it will be sheer terror to understand the message.
20
For the bed is too short to stretch oneself on,
and the covering too narrow to wrap oneself in.
21
For the
Lord
will rise up as on Mount Perazim;
as in the Valley of Gibeon he will be roused;
to do his deed — strange is his deed!
and to work his work — alien is his work!
22
Now therefore do not scoff,
lest your bonds be made strong;
for I have heard a decree of destruction
from the Lord
God
of hosts against the whole land.
23
Give ear, and hear my voice;
give attention, and hear my speech.
24
Does he who plows for sowing plow continually?
Does he continually open and harrow his ground?
25
When he has leveled its surface,
does he not scatter dill, sow cumin,
and put in wheat in rows
and barley in its proper place,
and emmer as the border?
26
For he is rightly instructed;
his God teaches him.
27
Dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge,
nor is a cart wheel rolled over cumin,
but dill is beaten out with a stick,
and cumin with a rod.
28
Does one crush grain for bread?
No, he does not thresh it forever;
when he drives his cart wheel over it
with his horses, he does not crush it.
29
This also comes from the
Lord
of hosts;
he is wonderful in counsel
and excellent in wisdom.
New International Version
Chapter 28
19
As often as it comes it will carry you away;
morning after morning, by day and by night,
it will sweep through." The understanding of this message
will bring sheer terror.
20
The bed is too short to stretch out on,
the blanket too narrow to wrap around you.
21
The
Lord
will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim,
he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon—
to do his work, his strange work,
and perform his task, his alien task.
22
Now stop your mocking,
or your chains will become heavier;
the Lord, the
Lord
Almighty, has told me
of the destruction decreed against the whole land.
23
Listen and hear my voice;
pay attention and hear what I say.
24
When a farmer plows for planting, does he plow continually?
Does he keep on breaking up and working the soil?
25
When he has leveled the surface,
does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin?
Does he not plant wheat in its place,
barley in its plot,
and spelt in its field?
26
His God instructs him
and teaches him the right way.
27
Caraway is not threshed with a sledge,
nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin;
caraway is beaten out with a rod,
and cumin with a stick.
28
Grain must be ground to make bread;
so one does not go on threshing it forever.
The wheels of a threshing cart may be rolled over it,
but one does not use horses to grind grain.
29
All this also comes from the
Lord
Almighty,
whose plan is wonderful,
whose wisdom is magnificent.
New King James Version
Chapter 28
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.
