This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
That rise up early in the morning; which was unusual, and scandalous in that case, Ecc_10:16 Act_2:15. They made drinking their daily trade and business.
That continue until night; thereby wasting both precious time, and God’s good creatures, and the health of their bodies, as well as of their souls. He useth this word partly to show their folly and misery, because the wine was so far from quenching and satisfying their appetites, that it did indeed inflame and increase them; and partly to prevent the vain excuse of them, who thought themselves innocent because they did not drink to drunkenness, although they cast themselves into an intemperate heat through their excess.
