Look, the Lord has someone who is strong and brave.
    He will come into the country like a storm of hail and rain.
Like a powerful river of water flooding the country,
    he will throw that crown[a] down to the ground.
The drunks of Ephraim are proud of their beautiful crown,
    but that city will be trampled down.
That city sits on a hill with a rich valley around it.
    But that beautiful crown of flowers is just a dying plant.
It will be like the first figs of summer.
    As soon as someone sees a ripe one, they pick it and eat it.
