Isaiah 28:3 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 28:3

The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be
trodden under feet.
] Not only cast down with the hand, but trampled upon with the feet; showing their utter destruction, and the contempt with which they should be used; which, with their character, is repeated, to point out their sins, the cause of it, to denote the certainty of it, and that it might be taken notice of.
