Context of Isaiah 28:8
6He will give a spirit of justice to those who judge. He will give strength to those who defend the city gates in battle. 7Priests and prophets stagger from wine and wobble from too much liquor. They stagger from too much liquor and become confused from too much wine. They wobble because of their liquor. They stagger when they see visions. They swerve as they judge. All the tables are covered with vomit and excrement. There isn’t a clean place left. 9To whom will they make the message understood? To whom will they explain this message? To children just weaned from milk? To those just taken from their ⌞mother’s⌟ breasts? 10They speak utter nonsense.
