Context of Isaiah 28:8
6He will help judges to decide what is right. He will give strength to the people who keep the city safe from those who attack it. 7But now wine causes the leaders in Ephraim to become drunk. They cannot walk in a straight line because they drink too much beer. Beer causes the priests and the prophets to fall over. Wine confuses their minds. When they see visions, they cannot understand them. When they judge people, they cannot decide what is right. They are sick over all their tables. Everywhere is covered with dirt. 9They say, ‘Why does the Lord try to teach us like that? Who does he think that we are? He speaks to us as if we are babies! He thinks that we have just left our mother's breast! 10He teaches us one rule at a time, one line at a time. He says it several times, a little bit here, a little bit there.’
