Isaiah 28:2-4
Complete Jewish Bible
2 Adonai has someone strong and powerful.
He comes like a hailstorm, a destructive tempest,
like a flood of water, rushing, overwhelming;
with his hand he hurls them to the ground.
3 The haughty crown of Efrayim’s drunks
is trampled underfoot;
4 and the fading flower of its proud splendor,
located at the head of the rich valley,
is like the first ripe fig of summer —
whoever sees it picks and eats it.
Isaiah 28:2-4
New International Version
2 See, the Lord has one who is powerful(A) and strong.
Like a hailstorm(B) and a destructive wind,(C)
like a driving rain and a flooding(D) downpour,
he will throw it forcefully to the ground.
3 That wreath, the pride of Ephraim’s(E) drunkards,
will be trampled(F) underfoot.
4 That fading flower, his glorious beauty,
set on the head of a fertile valley,(G)
will be like figs(H) ripe before harvest—
as soon as people see them and take them in hand,
they swallow them.
