Isaiah 28:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴And the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
    which is on the head of those bloated with rich food,
will be like a first-ripe fig before the summer;
    whoever sees it, eats it up
    as soon as it comes to hand.

⁵In that day the Lord of hosts will be a garland of glory,
and a diadem of beauty, to the remnant of his people;
⁶and a spirit of justice to the one who sits in judgment,
and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
