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.
Isaiah 28:6-8
New International Version
6 He will be a spirit of justice(A)
to the one who sits in judgment,(B)
a source of strength
to those who turn back the battle(C) at the gate.
7 And these also stagger(D) from wine(E)
and reel(F) from beer:
Priests(G) and prophets(H) stagger from beer
and are befuddled with wine;
they reel from beer,
they stagger when seeing visions,(I)
they stumble when rendering decisions.
8 All the tables are covered with vomit(J)
and there is not a spot without filth.
