    The withered flower, which is a thing of beauty[a]
        as it sits on the head of those bloated with fat,[b]
        will be like an early fig before the summer harvest:
    whoever sees it swallows it as soon as it is in hand.

On that day, the Lord of heavenly forces will be a splendid garland and a beautiful wreath for the people who survive, and a spirit of justice for the one who sits in judgment, and a strength for those who repel the assault at the gate.
