Isaiah 28:3-5
International Standard Version
3 With hands[a] and feet, that proud garland[b]—
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.
5 At that time,[c] the Lord of the Heavenly Armies will become a glorious crown,
a beautiful diadem for the remnant of his people,

King James Version
3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:

5 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,
