Isaiah 28:1-6

Evangelical Heritage Version

Woe to drunken Ephraim’s proud crown,
to the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
on the peak that overlooks a fertile valley.
Woe to those who are overcome with wine!

² Look, the Lord has someone who is strong and mighty.
Like a hailstorm,
like a destructive windstorm,
like a hurricane that drives surging waters,
he will throw them down to the earth with his own hand.
³ Drunken Ephraim’s proud crown will be trampled underfoot.
⁴ The fading flower of its glorious beauty, on the peak overlooking
        a fertile valley,
    will be like the early figs before summer,
    which someone picks and swallows as soon as he sees them.
⁵ On that day the Lord of Armies will become a glorious crown
and a beautifully braided headband for the remnant of his people.
⁶ He will provide a spirit of justice to the one who sits in judgment,
and strength for those who turn back the battle at the gate.
