Isaiah 28:6-8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 A spirit of judgment
for the one who sits in judgment,
And strength for those
who turn back the battle at the gate.
Against Judah
7 But these also stagger from wine
and stumble from strong drink:
Priest and prophet stagger from strong drink,
overpowered by wine;
They are confused by strong drink,
they stagger in their visions,
they totter when giving judgment.(A)
8 Yes, all the tables
are covered with vomit,
with filth, and no place left clean.
