Isaiah 28:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible
4 The fading flower of his beautiful splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, will be like a ripe fig before the summer harvest: Whoever sees it will take it in his hand and swallow it.
5 On that day the LORD of Hosts will be a crown of glory, a diadem of splendor to the remnant of His people,
6 a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and a strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate.
7 These also stagger from wine and stumble from strong drink: Priests and prophets reel from strong drink and are befuddled by wine. They stumble because of strong drink, muddled in their visions and stumbling in their judgments.
8 For all their tables are covered with vomit; there is not a place without filth.
