A. Woes to Ephraim and Jerusalem

1. Woe to Ephraims Spiritual Leaders

a. (1)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 the verdant valleys,

(2)To those who are overcome with wine!

(3)2 Behold, the Lord has a mighty and strong one,

Like a tempest of hail and a destroying storm,

Like a flood of mighty waters overflowing,

(2')Who will bring them down to the earth with His hand.

(1')3 The crown of pride The drunkards of Ephraim, Will be trampled underfoot; the glorious beauty is a fading flower Which is at the head of the verdant valley, Like the first fruit before the summer, Which an observer sees;

He eats it up while it is still in his hand.

b. 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,

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.
