5 At that time the Lord who commands armies will become a beautiful crown and a splendid diadem for the remnant of his people.
6 He will give discernment to the one who makes judicial decisions,and strength to those who defend the city from attackers.
7 Even these men stagger because of wine,they stumble around because of beer – priests and prophets stagger because of beer,they are confused because of wine,they stumble around because of beer;they stagger while seeing prophetic visions,they totter while making legal decisions.
8 Indeed, all the tables are covered with vomit;no place is untouched.
9 Who is the Lord trying to teach?To whom is he explaining a message?Those just weaned from milk!Those just taken from their mother’s breast!
10 Indeed, they will hear meaningless gibberish,senseless babbling,a syllable here, a syllable there.
11 For with mocking lips and a foreign tonguehe will speak to these people.
