“And the emptying of glory, and the flower shall be as a hasty fruit, that is, ripe or early fruit, above: for before the harvest it was all flourishing (Isa 18:5); all your strong holds shall be like fig trees with their green figs (Nah 3:12).”

4And the fading flower of the glorious hope on the top of the high mountain shall be as the early fig; he that sees it, before he takes it into his hand, will desire to swallow it down.

In context

2Behold, the anger of the Lord is strong and severe, as descending hail where there is no shelter, violently descending; as a great body of water sweeping away the soil, he shall make rest for the land.

3The crown of pride, the hirelings of Ephraim, shall be beaten down with the hands and with the feet.

— Isaiah 28:4 —

5In that day the Lord of hosts shall be the crown of hope, the woven crown of glory, to the remnant of the people.

6They shall be left in the spirit of judgment for judgment, and for the strength of them that hinder slaying.
