1. Woe to the majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards, and to the fading flower of its beautiful splendor,which is on the summit above the rich valley.Woe to those overcome with wine.
2. Look, the Lord has a strong and mighty one —like a devastating hail storm,like a storm with strong flooding waters.He will bring it across the land with His hand.
3. The majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkardswill be trampled underfoot.
4. The fading flower of his beautiful splendor,which is on the summit above the rich valley,will be like a ripe fig before the summer harvest. Whoever sees it will swallow itwhile it is still in his hand.
5. On that daythe Lord of Hosts will become a crown of beautyand a diadem of splendor to the remnant of His people,
