Drunkenness and Mockery in Jerusalem

Isaiah 28:7-13

These also stagger from wine and stumble from strong drink: Priests and prophets reel from strong drink and are befuddled by wine. They stumble because of strong drink, muddled in their visions and stumbling in their judgments.

For all their tables are covered with vomit; there is not a place without filth.

Whom is He trying to teach? To whom is He explaining His message? To infants just weaned from milk? To babies removed from the breast?

For they hear: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there.”

Indeed, with mocking lips and foreign tongues, He will speak to this people

to whom He has said: “This is the place of rest, let the weary rest; this is the place of repose.” But they would not listen.

Then the word of the LORD to them will become: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there,” so that they will go stumbling backward and will be injured, ensnared, and captured.
