Isaiah 28

Isaiah pronounces woe on the proud, drunken leaders of Ephraim (the northern kingdom), foretelling YHWH's judgment that will trample their crown like a fading fig, while a remnant will be preserved as YHWH's glory[1][2][3]. He rebukes Jerusalem's scoffers for their false covenant with death and Sheol, promising instead a precious cornerstone in Zion for believers, an overwhelming scourge, and YHWH's strange work of destruction measured by justice and righteousness, likened to a farmer's discerning labor[1][2][3].
