Isaiah 28:2-4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 Look, the Lord has a strong and mighty one(A)—
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 drunkards
will 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.(B)
Whoever sees it will swallow it
while it is still in his hand.
Isaiah 28:2-4
New International Version
2 See, the Lord has one who is powerful(A) and strong.
Like a hailstorm(B) and a destructive wind,(C)
like a driving rain and a flooding(D) downpour,
he will throw it forcefully to the ground.
3 That wreath, the pride of Ephraim’s(E) drunkards,
will be trampled(F) underfoot.
4 That fading flower, his glorious beauty,
set on the head of a fertile valley,(G)
will be like figs(H) ripe before harvest—
as soon as people see them and take them in hand,
they swallow them.
