Isaiah 28:2-4
Darby Translation
2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, as a storm of hail [and] a destroying tempest; as a storm of mighty waters overflowing, shall he cast down to the earth with might.
3 The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under feet;
4 and the fading flower of his glorious adornment which is on the head of the fat valley shall be like an early fig before the summer: as soon as he that seeth it perceiveth it, scarcely is it in his hand, he swalloweth it down.

Isaiah 28:2-4
New International Version
2 See, the Lord has one who is powerful(A) and strong.
Like a hailstorm(B) and a destructive wind,(C)
like a driving rain and a flooding(D) downpour,
he will throw it forcefully to the ground.
3 That wreath, the pride of Ephraim’s(E) drunkards,
will be trampled(F) underfoot.
4 That fading flower, his glorious beauty,
set on the head of a fertile valley,(G)
will be like figs(H) ripe before harvest—
as soon as people see them and take them in hand,
they swallow them.
