Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!

The verse 1 is found in chapter 28 of Isaiah. The woe against Ephraim denounces the pride of its leaders and the abuse produced by drunkenness. Against the confused speeches of rulers, Isaiah announces that God will teach his people in a way they have refused to receive. The section shows how rejecting divine instruction leads to disorientation.

Weh der prächtigen Krone der Trunkenen von Ephraim, der welken Blume ihrer lieblichen Herrlichkeit, welche steht oben über einem fetten Tal derer, die vom Wein taumeln!
¡Ay de la corona de soberbia, de los ebrios de Ephraim, y de la flor caduca de la hermosura de su gloria, que está sobre la cabeza del valle fértil de los aturdidos del vino!
¡Ay de la corona orgullosa de los borrachos de Efraín, de la flor marchita de su gloriosa hermosura, que está en la cabeza del valle fértil de los vencidos por el vino!
Malheur à la couronne superbe des ivrognes d'Ephraïm, A la fleur fanée, qui fait l'éclat de sa parure, Sur la cime de la fertile vallée de ceux qui s'enivrent!
GUAI alla corona della superbia degli ubbriachi di Efraim; la gloria della cui magnificenza è un fiore che si appassa; i quali abitano nel sommo delle valli grasse, e sono storditi di vino!
AI da coroa de soberba dos bêbados de Efraim, cujo glorioso ornamento é como a flor que cai, que está sobre a cabeça do fértil vale dos vencidos do vinho.
禍哉! 以法蓮 酒徒高傲的冠冕, 其榮美竟如花凋殘; 他們在肥沃的山谷頂上, 被酒擊敗。
