It sits on a hill above a rich valley.
    The city is like a wreath of flowers whose glorious beauty is fading away.
But it will become like figs that are ripe before harvest.
    As soon as people see them,
    they pick them and swallow them.

At that time the Lord who rules over all
    will be like a glorious crown.

He will help those
    who are fair when they judge.
He will give strength to those
    who turn back their enemies at the city gate.
