--Isaiah-- Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty [is] a fading flower, which [are] on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine! (28:1) Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, [which] as a tempest of hail [and] a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand. (28:2) The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet: (28:3) And the glorious beauty, which [is] on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, [and] as the hasty fruit before the summer; which [when] he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up. (28:4) In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people, (28:5) |
