23:028:016 Therefore thus saith the Lord god, Behold, I lay in Zion for a
           foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a
           sure foundation:  he that believeth shall not make haste.

23:028:017 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the
           plummet:  and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and
           the waters shall overflow the hiding place.

23:028:018 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your
           agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing
           scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by
           it.

23:028:019 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.

23:028:020 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.

23:028:021 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.

23:028:022 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.

23:028:023 Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.

23:028:024 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break
           the clods of his ground?

23:028:025 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?

23:028:026 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach
           him.

23:028:027 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.

23:028:028 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.

23:028:029 This also cometh forth from the lord of hosts, which is
           wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.

23:029:001 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye
           year to year; let them kill sacrifices.

23:029:002 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and
           sorrow:  and it shall be unto me as Ariel.
