"Wherefore hear the word of Jehovah, ye scoffers, that rule this people that is in Jerusalem: "
— Isaiah 28:14, American Standard Version
“Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.”
“Therefore hear the word of Yahweh, you scoffers, that rule this people in Jerusalem:”
“The Lord Will Judge Jerusalem Therefore, listen to the LORD’s message, you who mock, you rulers of these people who reside in Jerusalem!”
“Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, who rule over my people that is in Jerusalem.”
“Give ear then to the word of the Lord, you men of pride, the rulers of this people in Jerusalem:”
“Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.”
Nay, but bymen of strange lips and with another tongue will he speak to this people;
to whom he said, This is the rest, give ye rest to him that is weary; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
Therefore shall the word of Jehovah be unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
Wherefore hear the word of Jehovah, ye scoffers, that rule this people that is in Jerusalem:
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol 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:
therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not be in haste.
And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place.
