Isaiah 28:1-8

Judgment on Ephraim and Jerusalem

1 Ah, the proud crown of athe drunkards of Ephraim,
and the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
which is on the head of the rich valley of those overcome with wine!
2Behold, the Lord has bone who is mighty and strong;
like a storm of hail, a destroying tempest,
like ca storm of mighty, overflowing waters,
he casts down to the earth with his hand.
3 dThe proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim
will be trodden underfoot;
4 eand the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
which is on the head of the rich valley,
will be like fa first-ripe fig before the summer:
when someone sees it, he swallows it
as soon as it is in his hand.
5 gIn that day the Lord of hosts will be a crown of glory,
The Hebrew words for  glory and  hosts sound alike

and a diadem of beauty, to the remnant of his people,
6and ia spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,
and jstrength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
7 kThese also reel with wine
and lstagger with strong drink;
the priest and mthe prophet reel with strong drink,
they are swallowed by
Or confused by
wine,
they stagger with strong drink,
they reel in vision,
they stumble in giving judgment.
8For all tables are full of filthy vomit,
with no space left.
