Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower on the head of the fat valley of those who are overcome with wine!

Behold, the Lord is a mighty and strong one; like a hailstorm, a destroying storm; like a storm of mighty waters overflowing; He sets down to the earth with His hand.

The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trampled down.

And the glorious beauty which is on the head of the fat valley shall be a fading flower, like the first ripe fig before summer which the seeing one sees; while it is yet in his hand, he swallows it.

In that day Jehovah of Hosts shall become a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty to the rest of His people,

and a spirit of justice to him who sits on the judgment seat; and for might to those turning back the battle toward the gate.
