1 Го́ре вѣнцꙋ̀ горды́ни, наи̑мницы є҆фре́мѡвы, цвѣ́тъ ѿпады́й ѿ сла́вы, на версѣ̀ горы̀ тꙋ́чныѧ пїѧ́нїи без̾ вїна̀.
1 Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley of those who are overcome with wine!
2 Сѐ, крѣпка̀ и҆ же́стока ꙗ҆́рость гдⷭ҇нѧ, а҆́ки гра́дъ низпꙋща́емый не и҆мы́й кро́ва, наси́льнѡ низпꙋща́емый: ꙗ҆́коже воды̀ мно́гое мно́жество влекꙋ́щее странꙋ̀, землѝ сотвори́тъ поко́й рꙋка́ма,
2 Behold, the Lord has one who is mighty and strong. Like a storm of hail, a destroying storm, and like a storm of mighty waters overflowing, he will cast them down to the earth with his hand.
3 и҆ нога́ма попере́тсѧ вѣне́цъ горды́ни, наи̑мницы є҆фре́мѡвы.
3 The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim will be trodden under foot.
4 И҆ бꙋ́детъ цвѣ́тъ ѿпады́й ѿ наде́жды сла́вы на версѣ̀ горы̀ высо́кїѧ, а҆́ки ра́ннїй пло́дъ смо́квинъ: ви́дѣвый є҆го̀, пре́жде взѧ́тїѧ въ рꙋ́цѣ своѝ, восхо́щетъ поглоти́ти є҆го̀.
4 The fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley, shall be like the first-ripe fig before the summer, which someone picks and eats as soon as he sees it.
5 Въ то́й де́нь бꙋ́детъ гдⷭ҇ь саваѡ́ѳъ вѣне́цъ наде́жди, сплете́ный сла́вою ѡ҆ста́вшымсѧ лю́демъ.
5 In that day, Yahweh of Armies will become a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty to the residue of his people,
6 И҆ ѡ҆ста́вѧтсѧ дꙋ́хомъ сꙋ́днымъ на сꙋ́дъ, и҆ крѣ́пость возбранѧ́ющихъ погꙋблѧ́ти.
6 and a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
7 Сі́и бо вїно́мъ сꙋ́ть прельще́ни: прельсти́шасѧ сїке́ры ра́ди, жре́цъ и҆ проро́къ и҆зстꙋпи́ша ᲂу҆ма̀ ѿ сїке́ры, пожє́рты бы́ша вїно́мъ, потрѧсо́шасѧ ѿ пїѧ́нства сїке́ры, прельсти́шасѧ: сїѐ є҆́сть привидѣ́нїе.
7 They also reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink. The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink. They are swallowed up by wine. They stagger with strong drink. They err in vision. They stumble in judgment.
8 Проклѧ́тїе поѧ́стъ се́й совѣ́тъ, се́й бо совѣ́тъ ра́ди лихои́мства.
8 For all tables are completely full of filthy vomit and filthiness.
9 Комꙋ̀ возвѣсти́хомъ ѕла̑ѧ и҆ комꙋ̀ повѣ́дахомъ вѣ́сть; и҆̀же ѿдое́нїи (сꙋ́ть) ѿ млека̀, ѿто́рженнїи ѿ сосца̀.
9 Whom will he teach knowledge? To whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?
10 Печа́ли на печа́ль ѡ҆жида́й, наде́жды къ наде́жди, є҆щѐ ма́лѡ, є҆щѐ ма́лѡ,
10 For it is precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little.
11 ꙗ҆́кѡ хꙋ́достїю ᲂу҆сте́нъ, ѧ҆зы́комъ и҆ны́мъ возглаго́лютъ лю́демъ си̑мъ, рекꙋ́ще и҆̀мъ:
11 But he will speak to this nation with stammering lips and in another language,
12 се́й поко́й а҆́лчномꙋ и҆ сїѐ сокрꙋше́нїе, и҆ не восхотѣ́ша слы́шати.
12 to whom he said, “This is the resting place. Give rest to the weary,” and “This is the refreshing;” yet they would not hear.
13 И҆ бꙋ́детъ и҆̀мъ сло́во гдⷭ҇а бг҃а, печа́ль къ печа́ли, наде́жда къ наде́жди, є҆щѐ ма́лѡ, є҆щѐ ма́лѡ, да и҆́дꙋтъ и҆ падꙋ́тсѧ вспѧ́ть и҆ въ бѣдꙋ̀ впадꙋ́тъ, и҆ сокрꙋша́тсѧ и҆ плѣне́ни бꙋ́дꙋтъ.
13 Therefore Yahweh’s word will be to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, fall backward, be broken, be snared, and be taken.
14 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди ᲂу҆слы́шите сло́во гдⷭ҇не, мꙋ́жїе ѡ҆ѕло́бленнїи и҆ кнѧ̑зи люді́й сꙋ́щихъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ.
14 Therefore hear Yahweh’s word, you scoffers, that rule this people in Jerusalem:
15 Ꙗ҆́кѡ реко́сте: сотвори́хомъ завѣ́тъ со а҆́домъ и҆ со сме́ртїю сложе́нїе: бꙋ́рѧ носи́ма а҆́ще мимои́детъ, не прїи́детъ на на́съ: положи́хомъ лжꙋ̀ наде́ждꙋ на́шꙋ и҆ лже́ю покры́емсѧ.
15 “Because you have said, ‘We have made a covenant with death, and we are in agreement with Sheol. When the overflowing scourge passes through, it won’t come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under falsehood.’”
16 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди та́кѡ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь: сѐ, а҆́зъ полага́ю во ѡ҆снова́нїе сїѡ́нꙋ ка́мень многоцѣ́ненъ, и҆збра́нъ, краеꙋго́ленъ, чтⷭ҇енъ, во ѡ҆снова́нїе є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ вѣ́рꙋѧй во́нь не постыди́тсѧ:
16 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says, “Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone of a sure foundation. He who believes shall not act hastily.
17 и҆ положꙋ̀ сꙋ́дъ въ наде́ждꙋ, млⷭ҇ть же моѧ̀ на мѣ́рилѣхъ, и҆ ᲂу҆пова́вшїи вотщѐ на лжꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ не мине́тъ ва́съ бꙋ́рѧ:
17 I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plumb line. The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place.
18 и҆ не ѿи́метъ ѿ ва́съ завѣ́та сме́ртнагѡ, и҆ наде́жда ва́ша, ꙗ҆́же ко а҆́дꙋ, не пребꙋ́детъ. Бꙋ́рѧ и҆дꙋ́щаѧ а҆́ще на́йдетъ, бꙋ́дете є҆́й въ попра́нїе:
18 Your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand. When the overflowing scourge passes through, then you will be trampled down by it.
19 є҆гда̀ мимои́детъ, во́зметъ ва́съ: ꙗ҆́кѡ по всѧ́ко ᲂу҆́тро преходи́ти бꙋ́детъ въ де́нь, и҆ въ нощѝ бꙋ́детъ наде́жда ѕла̀. Наꙋчи́тесѧ слы́шати, ᲂу҆тѣснѧ́емїи:
19 As often as it passes through, it will seize you; for morning by morning it will pass through, by day and by night; and it will be nothing but terror to understand the message.”
20 не мо́жемъ ра́товати, са́ми же и҆знемога́емъ, є҆́же собра́тисѧ на́мъ.
20 For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket is too narrow to wrap oneself in.
21 Ꙗ҆́коже гора̀ на нечести́выхъ воста́нетъ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ бꙋ́детъ (ꙗ҆́коже) въ де́бри гаваѡ́нстѣй, съ ꙗ҆́ростїю сотвори́тъ дѣла̀ своѧ̑, го́рести дѣ́ло: ꙗ҆́рость же є҆гѡ̀ чꙋ́ждѡ ᲂу҆потреби́тсѧ, и҆ погꙋбле́нїе є҆гѡ̀ стра́нно.
21 For Yahweh will rise up as on Mount Perazim. He will be angry as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his unusual work, and bring to pass his act, his extraordinary act.
22 И҆ вы̀ не ра́дꙋйтесѧ, нижѐ да возмо́гꙋтъ ва́ши ᲂу҆́зы: занѐ сконча̑ны и҆ сокращє́ны вє́щи слы́шахъ ѿ гдⷭ҇а саваѡ́ѳа, ꙗ҆̀же сотвори́тъ над̾ все́ю земле́ю.
22 Now therefore don’t be scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard a decree of destruction from the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, on the whole earth.
23 Внꙋши́те и҆ слы́шите гла́съ мо́й, внемли́те и҆ слы́шите словеса̀ моѧ̑.
23 Give ear, and hear my voice! Listen, and hear my speech!
24 Є҆да̀ ве́сь де́нь бꙋ́детъ ѡ҆рѧ́й ѡ҆ра́ти; и҆лѝ сѣ́мѧ ᲂу҆гото́витъ пре́жде воздѣ́ланїѧ землѝ;
24 Does he who plows to sow plow continually? Does he keep turning the soil and breaking the clods?
25 Не є҆гда́ ли ᲂу҆мѧгчи́тъ лицѐ є҆ѧ̀, тогда̀ всѣ́етъ ма́лѡ чернꙋ́хи и҆ кѷмі́на, пото́мъ же сѣ́етъ пшени́цꙋ и҆ ꙗ҆чме́нь и҆ про́со въ предѣ́лѣхъ твои́хъ;
25 When he has leveled its surface, doesn’t he plant the dill, and scatter the cumin seed, and put in the wheat in rows, the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in its place?
26 И҆ наꙋчи́шисѧ сꙋдꙋ̀ бг҃а твоегѡ̀ и҆ возра́дꙋешисѧ.
26 For his God instructs him in right judgment and teaches him.
27 И҆́бо не съ же́стокостїю ѡ҆чища́етсѧ чернꙋ́ха, нижѐ ко́ло колесни́чное ѡ҆бы́детъ кѷмі́на, но жезло́мъ и҆стрѧса́етсѧ чернꙋ́ха, кѷмі́нъ же со хлѣ́бомъ снѣ́стсѧ.
27 For the dill isn’t threshed with a sharp instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned over the cumin; but the dill is beaten out with a stick, and the cumin with a rod.
28 Не во вѣ́къ бо а҆́зъ разгнѣ́ваюсѧ на вы̀, нижѐ гла́съ гнѣ́ва моегѡ̀ попере́тъ ва́съ.
28 Bread flour must be ground; so he will not always be threshing it. Although he drives the wheel of his threshing cart over it, his horses don’t grind it.
29 И҆ сїѧ̑ ѿ гдⷭ҇а саваѡ́ѳа и҆зыдо́ша чꙋдеса̀: совѣ́тꙋйте, вознеси́те тще́тное ᲂу҆тѣше́нїе.
29 This also comes out from Yahweh of Armies, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 28:16 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book III, Chapter XVII)

    Wherefore also Isaiah says: "Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I deposit in the foundations of Zion a stone, precious, elect, the chief, the corner-one, to be had in honour." So, then, we understand that His advent in human nature was not by the will of a man, but by the will of God.

  2. Quotes verse 28:15 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book VI, Chapters XII–XV)

    … slavery, and through that astonishment was going on to a desire of trying it, and from it to the trial itself, and thence, perchance, to fall into that bondage whereat he was so astonished, seeing he was ready to enter into "a covenant with death;" and he that loves danger shall fall into it.

  3. Quotes verse 28:16 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture X)

    He is called a Stone, not a lifeless stone, cut out by men's hands, but a chief corner-stone, on whom whosoever believeth shall not be put to shame.

  4. Quotes verse 28:25 Gregory of Nazianzus, Theological Orations (The Second Theological Oration)

    Since then these things are so, and we have broken up for ourselves the fallows of Divinity, so as not to sow upon thorns, and have made plain the face of the ground, being moulded and moulding others by Holy Scripture...let us now enter upon Theological questions, setting at the head thereof the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, …

  5. Quotes verse 28:16 Augustine of Hippo, Tractates on the Gospel of John (Chapter I — 32, 33)

    "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on Him shall not be confounded." Why anointed?
