This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa_56:12 Come ye, [say they], I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, [and] much more abundant.
Ver. 12. Come ye.] The wicked have their "come ye," as well as the godly. {Isa_2:3} {See Trapp on "Isa_2:3"}
I will fetch wine.] A pastor should be no winebibber or ale-stake. {1Ti_3:8} Ebrietas in se culpas complectitur omnes. Drunkenness is a soul fault in any man, saith Petrus Ravenas, but in a minister it is a sacrilege, especially if he draw on others to it, as here, and as the Popish priests do at Paris and Lovain, where the best wine is called vinum theologicum, the wine of theologians, and they used to lengthen out their drunken compotations.
And tomorrow shall be as this day.] Words of profane secureness and dissoluteness. See Isa_22:13 Pro_23:35.
