Isaiah 28:5

In that day, will Yahweh of hosts become A crown of beauty, and A diadem of majesty,—Unto the remnant of his people:

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,

In Context

4So shall his fading wreath of majestic beauty, Which is on the head of the fertile valley, become—Like the first-ripe fig before fruit-harvest, Which when he that looketh upon it seeth while it is yet in his hand, he swalloweth it up.

6Even a spirit of justice—to him that presideth over justice, And strength to them who would turn back the battle at the gate.
