Isaiah 28:3-8 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

3. With feet that will tramplethe majestic garland of the drunkards of Ephraim.

4. The fading blooms of his glorious beautyat the head of the fertile valleyWill be like an early fig before summer:whoever sees it,swallows it as soon as it is in hand.

5. On that day the Lord of hostswill be a glorious crownAnd a brilliant diademfor the remnant of his people,

6. A spirit of judgmentfor the one who sits in judgment,And strength for thosewho turn back the battle at the gate.

7. But these also stagger from wineand stumble from strong drink:Priest and prophet stagger from strong drink,overpowered by wine;They are confused by strong drink,they stagger in their visions,they totter when giving judgment.

8. Yes, all the tablesare covered with vomit,with filth, and no place left clean.
