Isaiah 28:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ That city is like a wreath.
    The leaders of Ephraim are drunk.
They take pride in their city.
    But its enemies will walk all over it.
⁴ It sits on a hill above a rich valley.
    The city is like a wreath of flowers whose glorious beauty is fading away.
But it will become like figs that are ripe before harvest.
    As soon as people see them,
    they pick them and swallow them.
