28 Ah! The garland of the pride of the drunkards of Ephraim
    and the withering flower of the glory of his beauty,
which is at the head of the rich valley,^[a]
    ones overcome^[b] with wine!
² Look! The Lord has a mighty and strong one,
    like a rainstorm of hail, a wind storm of destruction,
    like a rainstorm of mighty overflowing waters,
he will put them to the earth with his hand.
³ The garland of the pride of the drunkards of Ephraim
    will be trampled^[c] by feet,
⁴ and the withering flower of the glory of its beauty
    which is at the head of the rich valley^[d]
will be like its early fig before summer,
    which the one who sees it swallows^[e] while it is still in his hand.
⁵ In that day, Yahweh of hosts will become a garland of glory
    and a diadem of beauty to the remnant of his people,
⁶ and a spirit of justice to the one who sits over judgment,
    and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
