Isaiah 28:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² Look! The Lord God is sending a strong and powerful army to attack it.^[a] It comes like a strong storm of ice. Its wind destroys everything. It is like rain that pours down and causes a flood. He will knock down Ephraim's great city to the ground with his great power!

³ The drunk people of Samaria think that their city is great. But their enemies will knock it down and walk all over it. ⁴ The city is like a beautiful flower that will soon die. It is on a hill above a valley where many good things grow. But it will be like a fig on a tree. It is ready to eat before the harvest time. When someone sees it, he will quickly pick it. And he will eat it!
