What does Isaiah 28:4 mean?

That fading flower, their glorious beauty, sitting at the head of a fertile valley, will be like a fig ripe before summer—someone sees it and eats it as soon as it’s picked. Isaiah 28:4 - Modern Text Bible

(Their glory will disappear quickly, like the first ripe fruit that’s snatched up and eaten right away.)
