以賽亞書 5:22 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 5:22

Woe unto [them that are] mighty to drink wine
That can bear a great deal, and not be overcome and intoxicated with it; that try their strength this way with others, and get the mastery and glory in it: not mighty to fight their enemies, as Kimchi observes, and defend their country, but to drink wine; by which their strength was weakened: wherefore some think soldiers are particularly designed, given to drinking, who are derided and mocked, as being valiant in the warfare of Bacchus, and not of Mars: and men of strength, to mingle strong drink;
in the cup, and then drink it: or "men of war"; the same with "mighty" before. The Targum interprets it, "men of riches": who can afford to drink wine and strong drink; which carries the sense not to the strength of their bodies, but of their purses: the former sense seems best. The Scribes and Pharisees loved the cup and the platter, and to be at feasts, and to have the uppermost seats there, ( Matthew 23:6 Matthew 23:25 ) and that those that sat in Moses's chair are intended appears from the following words.

20 禍 哉 ! 那 些 稱 惡 為 善 , 稱 善 為 惡 , 以 暗 為 光 , 以 光 為 暗 , 以 苦 為 甜 , 以 甜 為 苦 的 人 。
21 禍 哉 ! 那 些 自 以 為 有 智 慧 , 自 看 為 通 達 的 人 。

23 他 們 因 受 賄 賂 , 就 稱 惡 人 為 義 , 將 義 人 的 義 奪 去 。
24 火 苗 怎 樣 吞 滅 碎 秸 , 乾 草 怎 樣 落 在 火 燄 之 中 , 照 樣 , 他 們 的 根 必 像 朽 物 , 他 們 的 花 必 像 灰 塵 飛 騰 ; 因 為 他 們 厭 棄 萬 軍 之 耶 和 華 的 訓 誨 , 藐 視 以 色 列 聖 者 的 言 語 。
