Drunkenness and Mockery in Jerusalem

Isaiah 28:7-13

And even these through wine have erred, And through strong drink have wandered, Priest and prophet erred through strong drink, They have been swallowed up of the wine, They wandered because of the strong drink, They have erred in seeing, They have stumbled judicially.

For all tables have been full of vomit, Filth--without place!

By whom doth He teach knowledge? And by whom doth He cause to understand the report? The weaned from milk, the removed from breasts,

For rule is on rule, rule on rule, line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there,

For by scorned lip, and by another tongue, Doth He speak unto this people.

Unto whom He hath said, `This is the rest, give ye rest to the weary, And this--the refreshing:' And they have not been willing to hear,

And to whom a word of Jehovah hath been, Rule on rule, rule on rule, line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there, So that they go and have stumbled backward, And been broken, and snared, and captured.
