28 Woe^(A) to that wreath, the pride of Ephraim’s^(B) drunkards,
    to the fading flower, his glorious beauty,
set on the head of a fertile valley^(C)—
    to that city, the pride of those laid low by wine!^(D)

⁴ That fading flower, his glorious beauty,
    set on the head of a fertile valley,^(A)
will be like figs^(B) ripe before harvest—
    as soon as people see them and take them in hand,
    they swallow them.
