Isaiah 28:2-4
Legacy Standard Bible
2 Behold, the Lord has a strong and (A)courageous agent;
As a storm of (B)hail, a tempest of destruction,
Like a storm of (C)mighty overflowing waters,
He has set it down to the earth with His hand.
3 The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim is (D)trodden under foot.
4 And the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
Which is at the head of the [a]fertile valley,
Will be like the (E)first-ripe fig prior to summer,
Which [b]one sees,
And [c]as soon as it is in his [d]hand,
He swallows it.

New International Version
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.
