Isaiah 28:4-6
Legacy Standard Bible
4 And the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
Which is at the head of the [a]fertile valley,
Will be like the (A)first-ripe fig prior to summer,
Which [b]one sees,
And [c]as soon as it is in his [d]hand,
He swallows it.
5 In that day (B)Yahweh of hosts will become a beautiful (C)crown
And a glorious diadem to the remnant of His people;
6 A (D)spirit of just judgment for him who sits in judgment,
A (E)might to those who turn back the [e]onslaught at the gate.

New King James Version
4 And the glorious beauty is a fading flower
Which is at the head of the [a]verdant valley,
Like the first fruit before the summer,
Which an observer sees;
He eats it up while it is still in his hand.
5 In that day the Lord of hosts will be
For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty
To the remnant of His people,
6 For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,
And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

Isaiah 28:4-6
King James Version
4 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.
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,
6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
