2 Eis que o Senhor tem um valente e poderoso, [que vem] como tempestade de granizo, tormenta destruidora; e como tempestade de impetuosas águas que inundam; com [sua] mão ele [os] derrubará em terra.

3 A coroa de arrogância dos bêbados de Efraim será pisada sob os pés.

4 E o seu belo ornamento, que está sobre a cabeça do vale fértil, será como a flor que murcha; como o primeiro fruto antes do verão, que, quando alguém o vê, pega e o come.

5 Naquele dia o SENHOR dos exércitos será por coroa gloriosa, e por bela tiara, para os restantes de seu povo;

6 E por espírito de juízo, para o que se senta para julgar, e por fortaleza aos que fazem a batalha recuar até a porta [da cidade] .
