Isaiah 28:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁴And the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
    at the head of the fertile valley,
will be like a first-ripe fig before the summer;
    whoever sees it eats it up
    as soon as it comes to hand.^(A)

⁵On that day the Lord of hosts will be a garland of glory
and a diadem of beauty to the remnant of his people^(B)
⁶and a spirit of justice to the one who sits in judgment
and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.^(C)
