Isaiah

Isaiah 28:7–8

⁷These also stagger from wine

and stumble from strong drink:

Priests and prophets reel from strong drink

and are befuddled by wine.

They stumble because of strong drink,

muddled in their visions and stumbling in their judgments.

⁸For all their tables are covered with vomit;

there is not a place without filth.
