Isaiah 28:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 For his glorious beauty shall be a fading flower, which is upon the head of the valley of them that be fat, and as [a]the hasty fruit afore Summer, which when he hath looketh upon it, seeth it, while it is in his hand, he eateth it.
5 In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty unto the [b]residue of his people:
6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for [c]strength unto them that turn away the battle to the gate.
