4 And the glorious beauty is a fading flower
Which is at the head of the1 verdant valley,
Like the first fruit before the summer,
Which an observer sees;
He eats it up while it is still in his hand.

5 In that day the Lord of hosts will be
For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty
To the remnant of His people,
For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty
To the remnant of His people,
6 For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,
And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

7 But they also ahave erred through wine,
And through intoxicating drink are out of the way;
bThe priest and the prophet have erred through intoxicating drink,
They are swallowed up by wine,
They are out of the way through intoxicating drink;
They err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
And through intoxicating drink are out of the way;
bThe priest and the prophet have erred through intoxicating drink,
They are swallowed up by wine,
They are out of the way through intoxicating drink;
They err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
9 “Whoma will he teach knowledge?
And whom will he make to understand the message?
Those just weaned from milk?
Those just drawn from the breasts?
And whom will he make to understand the message?
Those just weaned from milk?
Those just drawn from the breasts?
10 aFor precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept,
Line upon line, line upon line,
Here a little, there a little.”
Line upon line, line upon line,
Here a little, there a little.”
