269 : Basic English : Isaiah 28,29; 2 Corinthians 6 ) 1. Ho! crown of pride of those who are given up to wine in Ephraim, and the dead flower of his glory which is on the head of those who are overcome by strong drink!
2. See, the Lord has a strong and cruel one; like a rain of ice, a storm of destruction, like the overflowing of a strong river, he will violently overcome them.
3. The crown of pride of those who are given up to wine in Ephraim will be crushed under foot;
4. And the dead flower of his glory, which is on the head of the fertile valley, will be like the first early fruit before the summer; which a man takes and puts in his mouth the minute he sees it.
5. In that day will the Lord of armies be a crown of glory, and a fair ornament, to the rest of his people;
