Isaiah 28:3
The majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards will be trampled underfoot.
BSB
ASV
The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot:
KJV
The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:
The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim “The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim” - I read עטרות ataroth, crowns, plural, to agree with the verb תרמסנה teramasnah, “shall be trodden down.”
Trodden - The expression is emphatical; the crown which was upon their own heads, shall be trodden under the feet of others; and they, whose drunkenness made them fall to the ground, shall be trodden down there.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit. So He turned and became their enemy, and He Himself fought against them.
Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.
And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
