Parallel
Isaiah 28
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
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.
Woe to the majestic crown of Ephraim’s (note: That is, the northern kingdom of Israel; also in verse 3) drunkards, to the fading flower of his glorious splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, the pride of those overcome by wine.
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,
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.
καὶ τοῖς ποσὶν καταπατηθήσεται ὃ στέφανος τῆς ὕβρεως, οἱ μισθωτοὶ τοῦ Ἐφράιμ.
The majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards will be trampled underfoot.
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.
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.
τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἔσται Κύριος σαβαὼθ ὃ στέφανος τῆς ἐλπίδος ὁ πλακεὶς τῆς δόξης, τῷ καταλειφθέντι μου λαῷ
On that day the LORD of Hosts will be a crown of glory, a diadem of splendor to the remnant of His people,
καὶ καταλειφθήσονται ἐπὶ πνεύματι κρίσεως οὗτοι γὰρ οἴνῳ πεπλανημένοι ἐπὶ κρίσιν καὶ ἰσχὺν κωλύων ἀνελεῖν.
a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and a strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate.
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.
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.
ἀρὰ ἔδεται ταύτην τὴν βουλήν· αὕτη ἡ βουλὴ ἕνεκεν πλεονεξίας.
For all their tables are covered with vomit; there is not a place without filth.
τίνι ἀνηγγείλαμεν κακά, καὶ τίνι ἀνηγγείλαμεν ἀγγελίαν; οἱ ἀπογεγαλακτισμένοι ἀπὸ γάλακτος, οἱ ἀπεσπασμένοι ἀπὸ μαστοῦ.
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?
θλίψιν ἐπὶ θλίψιν προσδέχου, ἐλπίδα ἐπ’ ἐλπίδι, ἔτι μικρὸν ἔτι μικρόν,
For they hear: “Order on order, order on order, line on line (note: Or Do this, do that, a rule for this, a rule for that; Hebrew sav lasav sav lasav kav lakav kav lakav (possibly meaningless sounds to demonstrate an inability to understand); also in verse 13), line on line; a little here, a little there.”
διὰ φαυλισμὸν χειλέων, διὸ. γλώσσης ἑτέρας· ὅτι λαλήσουσιν τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ,
Indeed, with mocking lips and foreign tongues, He will speak to this people (note: Cited in 1 Corinthians 14:21)
λέγοντες αὐτῷ Τοῦτο τὸ ἀνάπαυμα τῷ πεινῶντι καὶ τοῦτο τὸ σύντριμμα, καὶ οὔκ ἠθέλησαν ἀκούειν.
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.
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.
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.
Διὰ τοῦτο ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου, ἄνδρες τεθλιμμένοι καὶ ἄρχοντες τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ,
Therefore hear the word of the LORD, O scoffers who rule this people in Jerusalem.
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.
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 (note: Or false gods) our hiding place.”
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.
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 (note: LXX will never be put to shame; cited in Romans 9:33, Romans 10:11, and 1 Peter 2:6).
καὶ θήσω κρίσιν εἷς ἐλπίδα, ἡ δὲ ἐλεημοσύνη μου εἷς σταθμούς, καὶ οἶ πεποιθότες μάτην ψεύδει· ὅτι οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ὑμᾶς καταιγίς,
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.
μὴ καὶ ἀφέλῃ ὑμῶν τὴν διαθήκην τοῦ θανάτου, καὶ ἡ ἐλπὶς ὑμῶν ἦ πρὸς τὸν ᾅδην οὗ μὴ ἐμμείνῃ· καταιγὶς φερομένη ἐὰν ἐπέλθῃ, ἔσεσθε αὐτῇ εἷς καταπάτημα.
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.
ὅταν παρέλθῃ, λήμψεται ὑμᾶς· πρωὶ πρωὶ παρελεύσεται ἡμέρας, καὶ ἓν νυκτὶ ἔσται ἐλπὶς πονηρά. μάθετε ἀκούειν
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.
στενοχωρούμενοι· οὔ δυνάμεθα μάχεσθαι, αὐτοὶ δὲ ἀσθενοῦμεν τοῦ ἡμᾶς συναχθῆναι.
Indeed, the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket too small to wrap around you.
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.
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.
καὶ ὑμεῖς μὴ εὐφρανθείητε, μηδὲ ἰσχυσάτωσαν ὑμῶν οἶ δεσμοί· διότι συντετελεσμένα καὶ συντετμημένα πράγματα ἥκουσα παρὰ. Κυρίου σαβαὼθ ἅ ποιήσει ἐπὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.
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.
Ἐνωτίζεσθε καὶ ἀκούσατε τῆς φωνῆς μου, προσέχετε καὶ ἀκούετε τοὺς λόγους μου.
Listen and hear my voice. Pay attention and hear what I say.
μὴ ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν μέλλει ὃ ἀροτριῶν ἀροτριᾶν ; ἦ σπόρον προετοιμάσει πρὶν ἐργάσασθαι τὴν γῆν;
Does the plowman plow for planting every day? Does he continuously loosen and harrow the soil?
καὶ ὅταν ὁμαλίσῃ αὐτῆς τὸ πρόσωπον, πρῶτον σπείρει μικρὸν μελάνθιον καὶ κύμινον, καὶ πάλιν πυρόν, καὶ κριθὴν καὶ ζέαν ἐν τοῖς ὁρίοις σου
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.
καὶ παιδευθήσῃ κρίματι θεοῦ σου, καὶ εὐφρανθήσῃ.
For his God instructs and teaches him properly.
οὐ γὰρ μετὰ σκληρότητος καθαίρεται τὸ μελάνθιον, οὐδὲ τροχὸς ἀμάξης περιάξει ἐπὶ τὸ κύμινον· ἀλλὰ. ῥάβδῳ ἐκτινάσσεται τὸ μελάνθιον, τὸ δὲ κύμινον
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.
μετὰ ἄρτου βρωθήσεται. οὗ γὰρ εἷς τὸν αἰῶνα ἐγὼ ὑμῖν ὀργισθήσομαι, οὐδὲ φωνὴ τῆς πικρίας μου καταπατήσει ὑμᾶς.
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.
καὶ ταῦτα παρὰ Κυρίου σαβαὼθ ἐξῆλθεν τὰ τέρατα· βουλεύσασθε, ὑψώσατε ματαίαν παράκλησιν.
This also comes from the LORD of Hosts, who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in wisdom.
