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.
