Woe unto [them that are] mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:

Isaiah 5:22 — KJV

Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 5:22

Theological / Devotional

Mighty to drink wine. This woe is akin to that pronounced against the drinkers of wine in vs. 11,12. But the woe there is simply against a group of abandoned revelers. This woe traces the relationship between drink and the injustices mentioned in v. 23 as resulting from its use. These men are “mighty” in their drinking and valiant in their practice of iniquity.
