Theological / Devotional

Strong drink. The second sin listed is drunkenness and intemperance. The professed people of God were addicted to strong drink. They arose early in order to have more time for drink. From morning till night many thought only of wine (see Isa. 22:13; 28:7; Hosea 4:11; Amos 6:6).
