⁴ The city is like a beautiful flower that will soon die. It is on a hill above a valley where many good things grow. But it will be like a fig on a tree. It is ready to eat before the harvest time. When someone sees it, he will quickly pick it. And he will eat it!

⁵ At that time. the Lord Almighty will be a great leader of his people. He will be like a beautiful crown for his people who still remain alive. ⁶ He will help judges to decide what is right. He will give strength to the people who keep the city safe from those who attack it.
