Isaiah 28:4-6

The Voice

⁴ And the fading flower of its glorious beauty
    that crowned Ephraim’s fertile valley
Will be snatched up and consumed as soon as someone sees it,
    like the first ripened fig before summer.
⁵ In that day the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies, will be a beautiful crown,
    a glorious diadem, for His people who survive.
⁶ He will be a spirit of justice to those who sit in judgment
    and a source of strength to those who battle at the gate.
