5
On that day the Lord of armies will become a beautiful crown
And a glorious wreath to the remnant of His people;
6
A spirit of justice for him who sits in judgment,
A strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate.
7
And these also reel with wine and stagger from intoxicating drink:
The priest and the prophet reel with intoxicating drink,
They are confused by wine, they stagger from intoxicating drink;
They reel while having visions,
They stagger when rendering a verdict.
8
For all the tables are full of filthy vomit, without a single clean place.
9
“To whom would He teach knowledge,
And to whom would He interpret the message?
Those just weaned from milk?
Those just taken from the breast?
10
“For He says,
‘Order on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there.’ ”
11
Indeed, He will speak to this people
Through stammering lips and a foreign tongue,
12
He who said to them, “This is the place of quiet, give rest to the weary,”
And, “This is the resting place,” but they would not listen.
13
So the word of the Lord to them will be,
“Order on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there,”
That they may go and stumble backward, be broken, snared, and taken captive.
14
Therefore, hear the word of the Lord, you scoffers,
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
15
Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
And with Sheol we have made a pact.
The gushing flood will not reach us when it passes by,
Because we have made falsehood our refuge and we have concealed ourselves with deception.”
