Isaiah 28:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ And the fading blooms of its glorious beauty,
    at the head of the lush valley,
will be like early figs before the summer;
    whoever sees them will pluck them
    and immediately consume them.
⁵ On that day the Lord of hosts
    will be a crown of glory
and a beautiful diadem
    to the remnant of his people,
⁶ a spirit of justice
    to the one who sits in judgment,
and a spirit of strength to those
    who repel the enemy at the city gates.
