Isaiah 28:6 Context
4And the glorious beautie which is on the head of the fat valley, shall bee a fading flowre, and as the hastie fruite before the summer: which when he that looketh vpon it, seeth it, while it is yet in his hand, he eateth it vp. 5¶ In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crowne of glory, and for a diademe of beautie vnto the residue of his people: 6And for a spirit of iudgement to him that sitteth in iudgement, and for strength to them that turne the battell to the gate. 7¶ But they also haue erred through wine, and through strong drinke are out of the way: the priest and the prophet haue erred through strong drinke, they are swallowed vp of wine: they are out of the way through strong drinke, they erre in vision, they stumble in iudgement. 8For all tables are full of vomite and filthinesse, so that there is no place cleane.
