Isaiah 28:2-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

² Behold, the Lord has a strong and ^(A)mighty agent;
As a storm of ^(B)hail, a tempest of destruction,
Like a storm of ^(C)mighty overflowing waters,
He has cast it down to the earth with His hand.
³ The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim is ^(D)trodden under foot.
⁴ And the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
Which is at the head of the ^[a]fertile valley,
Will be like the ^(E)first-ripe fig prior to summer,
Which ^[b]one sees,
And ^[c]as soon as it is in his ^[d]hand,
He swallows it.
