Make them drunk: the Hebrew often expresseth calamities by a cup of wine, or strong drink, by which the distressed persons are made drunk, Psa_75:8Isa_51:21,22; they go as it were to and fro, not knowing what to do with themselves; and in special drunk with their own blood, Isa_49:26Rev_16:6.
I will bring down their strength to the earth; whatever it is wherein their strength lies, their strong ones, or their strong places, or deep counsels, &c., he will bring to the very dust, to nothing; like drunken men, they shall fall to the ground, not being able to stand; the most miserable condition that men can fall into, Psa_36:12.
