Old TestamentIsaiahThe Impenitence of Ephraim Will Be Punished · 28:1–628:1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!28:2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.28:3 The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:28:4 And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.28:5 In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,28:6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
