1. Ah, the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim,and the fading flower of its glorious beauty,which is on the head of the rich valley of those overcome with wine!
2. Behold, the Lord has one who is mighty and strong;like a storm of hail, a destroying tempest,like a storm of mighty, overflowing waters,he casts down to the earth with his hand.
3. The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraimwill be trodden underfoot;
4. and the fading flower of its glorious beauty,which is on the head of the rich valley,will be like a first-ripe fig before the summer:when someone sees it, he swallows itas soon as it is in his hand.
