Theological / Devotional

Hard things. Or, “severe things,” that is, such things as disappointments, defeats, trials.

Wine of astonishment. Literally, “wine of reeling.” The nation, as it were, had been made to drink an intoxicating wine which had caused it to reel like a drunken man (see Ps. 75:8; Isa. 51:17, 22; Jer. 25:15–17).
