Isaiah 28

Treated in 25 passages across the library.

  • 28:16 So the Lord GOD says this: Look, I have laid a stone in Zion as its foundation: a stone proven by testing, a valuable cornerstone, set deep and secure. The one who trusts will not rush in panic. 9
  • 28:17 Justice will be my measuring line, and righteousness my plumb line. Hail will sweep away the shelter of lies, and floodwaters will swamp the hiding place. 3
  • 28:21 As at Mount Perazim, the LORD will stand up; as in the valley near Gibeon, he will burst into fury, to do his deed, a strange deed, and to carry out his work, an alien work. 2
  • 28:24 Does the farmer who plows to plant go on plowing all day long? Does he never stop breaking open and harrowing his soil? 2
  • 28:25 Once he has made the ground level, does he not scatter black cumin, sow cumin seed, set wheat in rows, barley in its marked plot, and spelt along the border? 2
  • 28:28 Grain for bread must be crushed, but no one keeps on threshing it endlessly. He drives the wheels of his cart and his horses over it, but he does not grind it to dust. 2
  • 28:5 On that day the LORD of Armies himself will be the splendid crown, the beautiful garland, worn by the survivors of his people, 1
  • 28:10 It is all tsav latsav, tsav latsav, qav laqav, qav laqav, a little here, a little there! 1
  • 28:15 For you have said, "We have made a covenant with death; we have a pact with Sheol. When the flooding whip sweeps through, it will not reach us, for we have taken shelter in a lie and hidden ourselves inside falsehood." 1
  • 28:27 No one threshes black cumin with a sledge or rolls cart wheels over cumin. Black cumin is knocked loose with a stick, and cumin with a rod. 1
  • 28:29 This too comes from the LORD of Armies, whose counsel is a wonder and whose wisdom is great. 1
