Isaiah 28:5
“In that day, Yahweh of Armies will become a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, to the residue of his people;”
Verse in context — Isaiah 28
The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim will be trodden under foot.
The fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley, shall be like the first-ripe fig before the summer; which someone picks and eats as soon as he sees it.
In that day, Yahweh of Armies will become a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, to the residue of his people;
and a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
They also reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink. The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink. They are swallowed up by wine. They stagger with strong drink. They err in vision. They stumble in judgment.
