28 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim,
whose glorious beauty is a fading flower,
which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!
Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one,
which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm,
as a flood of mighty waters overflowing,
shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim,
shall be trodden under feet:
and the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley,
shall be a fading flower,
and as the hasty fruit before the summer;
which when he that looketh upon it seeth,
while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.

In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory,
and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
and for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment,
and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
