Look! The Lord has someone who is powerful and strong;
    like a hailstorm, a disastrous tempest,
    like a downpour of mighty, overflowing waters,
    he can level them to the ground with his hand.
The majestic garland of Ephraim’s drunks
    will be trampled underfoot.
    The withered flower, which is a thing of beauty[a]
        as it sits on the head of those bloated with fat,[b]
        will be like an early fig before the summer harvest:
    whoever sees it swallows it as soon as it is in hand.
