28 Woe to the majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards,^(A)
and to the fading flower of its beautiful splendor,
which is on the summit above the rich valley.
Woe to those overcome with wine.

⁴ The fading flower of his beautiful splendor,
which is on the summit above the rich valley,
will be like a ripe fig before the summer harvest.^(A)
Whoever sees it will swallow it
while it is still in his hand.
