1Yo, vibes are off for the prideful crown and the lit drunks of Ephraim, whose beauty is like a flower that's fading, chillin' on the heads of those drowning in wine.

2Check it, the Lord's got a savage one coming in hot, like a hailstorm and a flood, ready to drop some serious truth on the earth.

3The prideful crown and the Ephraim drunks? They’re about to get stepped on, no cap.

4That glorious beauty on the fat valley's head? It’s just a fading flower, like fruit that’s ripe but gonna spoil real quick.

5On that day, the Lord of hosts is gonna be a crown of glory and a goated diadem for the squad that’s left.

6And He’s bringing a spirit of judgment for those judging and strength for the homies ready to fight at the gate.

7But for real, they’ve messed up from the wine, and their strong drinks got them lost; even the priest and prophet are trippin' hard on that liquor, stumbling in their judgment.

8All the tables are straight-up nasty with vomit and filth, like, there’s no clean spot at all.

9Who’s gonna get schooled on knowledge? Who’s gonna grasp the doctrine? Only those who’ve moved on from milk and are ready for the real deal.

10It’s all about precept on precept, line on line; a little here, a little there, that’s how we roll.

11God’s gonna talk to the squad with some stammering lips and a whole new vibe.

12He’s like, “This is the chill zone for the tired peeps; this is the refresh, but y’all ain’t listening.”

13But the Lord’s word was like, “Precept on precept, line on line; a little here, a little there,” so they’d end up trippin’ and getting wrecked.

14So listen up, you haters ruling the squad in Jerusalem, catch the word of the Lord.

15Y’all said, “We made a deal with death and vibed with hell; when the drama hits, it won’t touch us, ‘cause we’re hiding in lies.”

16So the Lord God’s like, “Check it, I’m laying down a solid stone in Zion, a goated corner stone; if you believe, you won’t be rushing.”

17I’m bringing judgment to the line and righteousness to the scale; the hail’s gonna wipe out those lies, and the waters will flood your hiding spots.

18Your deal with death? Yeah, that’s getting canceled; your hell agreement? Not gonna stand; when the drama hits, you’ll be crushed by it.

19Once it starts rolling, it’s coming for you, morning and night; it’s only gonna stress you out trying to get the scoop.

20The bed’s too short for you to stretch out, and the cover’s too tight to wrap up in.

21The Lord’s gonna rise up like it’s mount Perazim, getting real heated like in Gibeon, doing His thing, that wild work; bringing His moves, that strange act, no cap.

22So don’t be out here mocking, or your squad’s gonna get wrecked; I heard from the Lord God of hosts, it’s a whole vibe for the earth.

23Listen up, fam, hear my voice; pay attention and catch my vibe.

24Does a plowman grind all day just to sow? Does he break up the dirt like it’s nothing?

25When he clears the ground, doesn’t he spread the seeds and scatter the herbs, throwing in that prime wheat and the barley where it belongs?

26His God’s teaching him how to play it smart, giving him the knowledge, fr.

27Fitches aren’t threshed with fancy tools, and you don’t roll a cart over the cummin; nah, the fitches get beaten with a stick, and the cummin’s done with a rod.

28Bread corn gets bruised; He’s not always threshing it, or rolling it with the cart, or smashing it with the horses, periodt.

29This also comes from the Lord of hosts, who’s got the rizz in counsel and is goated in action.

1Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!

2Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.

3The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:

4And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.

5In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,

6And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.

7But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

8For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.

9Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.

10For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

11For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.

12To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

13But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

14Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.

15Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell 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:

16Therefore 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.

17Judgment 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.

18And 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.

19From 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.

20For 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.

21For 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.

22Now 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.

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

24Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?

25When 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?

26For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.

27For 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.

28Bread 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.

29This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.
