Isaiah 28:2-4
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 28:2-4
Contemporary English Version
2 Only the Lord is strong
and powerful!
His mighty hand
will strike them down
with the force of a hailstorm
or a mighty whirlwind
or an overwhelming flood.
3 Every drunkard in Ephraim[a]
takes pride in Samaria,
but it will be crushed.
4 Samaria above a fertile valley
will quickly lose its glory.
It will be gobbled up
like the first ripe fig
at harvest season.
Footnotes
- 28.3 Ephraim: The northern kingdom of Israel; Samaria was its capital.
