Woe to Ephraim and Jerusalem
1 Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim,
Whose glorious beauty is a fading flower
Which is at the head of the1 verdant valleys,
To those who are overcome with wine!
Whose glorious beauty is a fading flower
Which is at the head of the1 verdant valleys,
To those who are overcome with wine!
2 Behold, the Lord has a mighty and strong one,
aLike a tempest of hail and a destroying storm,
Like a flood of mighty waters overflowing,
Who will bring them down to the earth with His hand.
aLike a tempest of hail and a destroying storm,

Who will bring them down to the earth with His hand.
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.
And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
