1 O to the crown of pride, wo to the hirelings of Ephraim! a flower falling away is the glory of his beauty which is upon the head of the valley of fatness of those smitten with wine. 2 Behold, a strong and active one to Jehovah, as a storm of hail, a destroying tempest, as a storm of vast waters overflowing, let fall to the earth with the hand. 3 With the feet shall the crown of pride, the hirelings of Ephraim, be trodden down. 4 And the flower falling away was the glory of his beauty which is upon the head of the valley of fatness, as the first-fruits before fruit harvest which he looking at it shall see, in its continuing in his hand he will swallow it up. 5 In that day shall Jehovah of armies be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, to the remnant of his people. 6 And for a spirit of judgment to him sitting upon the judgment, and for strength of them turning back the battle of the storm. 7 And these also went astray by wine, and by strong drink they erred; the priest and the prophet went astray by strong drink, they were swallowed up from wine, they erred from strong drink, they went astray in seeing, they wavered in judgment. 8 For all tables were full of vomit, of filth without place. 9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? whom shall he cause to understand hearing? those weaned from milk and those taken away from the breasts. 10 For precept to precept, precept to precept; line to line, line to line; a little there, a little there: Isaiah 28:1-10, Smith's Literal Translation.
