Isaiah 28:1-6

Amplified Bible

28 Woe (judgment is coming) to [Samaria] the splendid crown of the drunkards of ^[a]Ephraim,
And to the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
Which is at the head of the rich valley
Of those who are overcome with wine!
² 
Listen carefully, the Lord has a strong and mighty agent [the Assyrian];
Like a tempest of hail, a disastrous storm,
Like a tempest of mighty overflowing waters,
He has cast it down to the earth with His hand.
³ 
The splendid crown of the drunkards of Ephraim is trampled by [the foreigners’] feet.
⁴ 
And the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
Which is at the head of the rich valley,
Will be like the early fig before the summer,
Which one sees,
And as soon as it is in his hand
He [greedily] swallows it [and so will the Assyrians rapidly devour Samaria, Israel’s capital].
⁵ 
In that day the Lord of hosts will become a magnificent crown
And a glorious diadem to the [converted] remnant of His people,
⁶ 
A spirit of justice for him who sits in judgment [administering the law],
A strength to those who drive back the battle at the gate.
