Isaiah 28:7

And these also ^areel with wine and stagger from strong drink:

^bThe priest and ^cthe prophet reel with strong drink;

They are swallowed up by wine, they stagger from ^dstrong drink;

They reel while ¹having ^evisions;

They totter when rendering a verdict.

Isaiah 28:8

For all the tables are full of filthy ^avomit, without a single clean place.

Woe to those who rise early in the morning that they may pursue ^astrong drink,

Who stay up late in the evening that wine may inflame them!

^aWoe to those who are mighty men in drinking wine

And valiant men in mixing strong drink,

Hear this word, you cows of ^aBashan who are on the ^bmountain of Samaria,

Who ^coppress the poor, who crush the needy,

Who say to their ¹husbands, “Bring now, that we may ^ddrink!”

^aWoe to those who are at ease in Zion

And to those who feel secure in the mountain of Samaria,

The ^bdistinguished men of the first of the nations,

To whom the house of Israel comes.

Pass on over to ^aCalneh and look,

And go from there to ^bHamath the great,

Then go down to ^cGath of the Philistines.

Are ¹they better than these kingdoms,

Or are their borders greater than your borders?

Do you ^aput off the day of calamity,

And would you ^bcause the seat of violence to approach?

Those who lie down on beds of ivory

And sprawl on their ^acouches

And ^beat lambs from the flock

And calves from the midst of the stall,

Who improvise to the ¹sound of the harp,

And like David have ²composed ^asongs for themselves,

Who ^adrink wine from ¹sacrificial bowls

While they anoint themselves with the first pick of the oils,

Yet they have not ^bgrieved over the destruction of Joseph.
