23:028:001 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!

23:028:002 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.

23:028:003 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden
           under feet: 

23:028:004 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.

23:028:005 In that day shall the lord of hosts be for a crown of glory,
           and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,

23:028:006 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment,
           and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.

23:028:007 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong
           drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have
           erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine,
           they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in
           vision, they stumble in judgment.

23:028:008 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there
           is no place clean.

23:028:009 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to
           understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and
           drawn from the breasts.

23:028:010 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line
           upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 

23:028:011 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to
           this people.

23:028:012 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.

23:028:013 But the word of the lord 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.

23:028:014 Wherefore hear the word of the lord, ye scornful men, that
           rule this people which is in Jerusalem.

23:028:015 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:
