Woe to the crowne of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flowre, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are ouercome with wine.

Behold, the Lord hath a mightie and strong one, which as a tempest of haile and a destroying storme, as a flood of mightie waters ouerflowing, shall cast downe to the earth with the hand.

The crowne of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim shall be troden vnder feete.

And the glorious beautie which is on the head of the fat valley, shall bee a fading flowre, and as the hastie fruite before the summer: which when he that looketh vpon it, seeth it, while it is yet in his hand, he eateth it vp.

In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crowne of glory, and for a diademe of beautie vnto the residue of his people:

And for a spirit of iudgement to him that sitteth in iudgement, and for strength to them that turne the battell to the gate.
