Isaiah 28:1-7

1Woe to the proud crown of the 1habitually drunk of 2Ephraim, And to the fading flower of its glorious beauty, Which is at the head of the 3fertile valley Of those who are 4overcome with wine!2Behold, the Lord has a strong and 5mighty agent; As a storm of 6hail, a tempest of destruction, Like a storm of 7mighty overflowing waters, He has thrown it down to the earth with His hand.3The splendid crown of the habitually drunk of Ephraim is 8trampled underfoot.4And the fading flower of its glorious beauty, Which is at the head of the 9fertile valley, Will be like the 10first-ripe fig prior to the summer, Which 11one sees, And 12as soon as it is in his 13hand, He swallows it.5On that day the 14Lord of armies will become a beautiful 15crown And a glorious wreath to the remnant of His people;6A 16spirit of justice for him who sits in judgment, A 17strength to those who repel the 18onslaught at the gate.7And these also 19reel with wine and stagger from intoxicating drink: 20The priest and 21the prophet reel with intoxicating drink, They are confused by wine, they stagger from 22intoxicating drink; They reel while 23having 24visions, They stagger when rendering a verdict.
