Isaiah 28:2-4
International Standard Version
Isaiah 28:2-4
International Standard Version
2 Look! The Lord[a] has one who is mighty and strong,
like a hailstorm and destructive tempest,
like a storm of mighty, overflowing water—
and[b] he will give rest to the land.
3 With hands[c] and feet, that proud garland[d]—
those drunks of Ephraim—will be trampled.
4 And that fading flower, his glorious beauty,
which sits on the heads of people bloated with food,
will be like an early fig before summer—
whenever someone sees it, he swallows it
as soon as it’s in his hand.
