Drunkenness and Mockery in Jerusalem

Isaiah 28:7-13

But they haue erred because of wine, and are out of the way by strong drinke: the priest and the prophet haue erred by strong drinke: they are swallowed vp with wine: they haue gone astraye through strong drinke: they faile in vision: they stumble in iudgement.

For all their tables are full of filthy vomiting: no place is cleane.

Whome shall he teache knowledge? and whome shall he make to vnderstand the thinges that hee heareth? them that are weyned from the milke, and drawen from the breastes.

For precept must be vpon precept, precept vpon precept, line vnto line, line vnto line, there a litle, and there a litle.

For with a stammering tongue and with a strange language shall he speake vnto this people.

Vnto whome hee saide, This is the rest: giue rest to him that is weary: and this is the refreshing, but they would not heare.

Therefore shall the worde of the Lord be vnto them precept vpon precept, precept vpon precept, line vnto line, line vnto line, there a litle and there a litle, that they may goe, and fall backward, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
