Isaiah 28:7-8

Isaiah 28:7-8

[7] But they  also have erred  through wine,  and through strong drink  are out of the way;  the priest  and the prophet  have erred  through strong drink,  they are swallowed up  of  wine,  they are out of the way  through strong drink;  they err  in vision,  they stumble  in judgment.  [8] For all tables  are full  of vomit  and filthiness,  so that there is no place  clean.

What does Isaiah 28:7-8 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The priests and the false prophets in Judah, on the other hand, drank so much that their visions and judgments were distorted, and they degraded themselves by vomiting all over their tables. [1] Isaiah chose onomatopoetic words in Hebrew to mimic the staggering and stumbling of the drunkards: shagu-taghu, shagu-taghu, shagu-paqu.
