Behold, the Lord has (A)one who is mighty and strong;
    like a storm of hail, a destroying tempest,
like (B)a storm of mighty, overflowing waters,
    he casts down to the earth with his hand.
(C)The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim
    will be trodden underfoot;
(D)and the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
    which is on the head of the rich valley,
will be like (E)a first-ripe fig[a] before the summer:
    when someone sees it, he swallows it
    as soon as it is in his hand.
