This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Another public and crying sin of this Chaldean kingdom was excessive drinking, and making one another drunk, and for this God will severely punish.



Puttest thy bottle to him; forcing them by importunity or threats to drink by greater measures then they can bear.



Makest him drunken also; never givest over till thou hast made him vile and loathsome, as well as senseless in his drink.



That thou mayest look on their nakedness; designing to put the greatest abuse on them, exposing them to view, scorn, and derision, or to beastly or not to be named uncleanness, which vice the Babylonians are charged with by Herodotus and Ctesias.
