Look! The Lord has a mighty and strong one,
    like a rainstorm of hail, a wind storm of destruction,
    like a rainstorm of mighty overflowing waters,
he will put them to the earth with his hand.
The garland of the pride of the drunkards of Ephraim
    will be trampled[a] by feet,
and the withering flower of the glory of its beauty
    which is at the head of the rich valley[b]
will be like its early fig before summer,
    which the one who sees it swallows[c] while it is still in his hand.
