Isaiah 28:1-8

1Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, Whose glorious beauty is a fading flower Which is at the head of the verdant valleys, To those who are overcome with wine!

2Behold, the Lord has a mighty and strong one, Like a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, Like a flood of mighty waters overflowing, Who will bring them down to the earth with His hand.

3The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, Will be trampled underfoot;

4And the glorious beauty is a fading flower Which is at the head of the verdant valley, Like the first fruit before the summer, Which an observer sees; He eats it up while it is still in his hand.

5In that day the Lord of hosts will be For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty To the remnant of His people,

6For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

7But they also have erred through wine, And through intoxicating drink are out of the way; The priest and the prophet have erred through intoxicating drink, They are swallowed up by wine, They are out of the way through intoxicating drink; They err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

8For all tables are full of vomit and filth; No place is clean.
