Isaiah 28:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

² See, the Lord has one who is mighty and strong,
    like a storm of hail, a destroying tempest,
like a storm of mighty, overflowing waters;
    with force he will hurl them down to the earth.^(A)
3 Trampled under foot will be
    the proud garland of the drunkards of Ephraim.^(B)
4 And the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
    at the head of the fertile valley,
will be like a first-ripe fig before the summer;
    whoever sees it eats it up
    as soon as it comes to hand.^(C)
