Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 28:8

For all tables ... - The tables at which they sit long in the use of wine (see the note at Isaiah 5:11). There was no place in their houses which was free from the disgusting and loathsome pollution produced by the use of wine. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 28:7

Isaiah 28:7. But they also have erred But, alas! Judah is guilty of the same sins with Israel, therefore they also must expect the same calamities, of which he speaks afterward. The priest To whom strong drink was expressly forbidden in the time of their sacred ministrations; and the prophet The teachers, who should have been patterns of sobriety to the people, and to whom sobriety was absolutely necessary for the right discharge of their office; have erred In their conversation and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 28:1-29

28:1-33:24 HEZEKIAH AND THE ASSYRIANSBefore reading Chapters 28-33, readers should be familiar with the historical background found in the introduction under the heading ‘Judah’s new policies under Hezekiah’. Hezekiah reversed the policies of his father Ahaz. Whereas Ahaz sought help from Assyria to oppose Israel and Syria, Hezekiah sought help from Egypt to oppose Assyria. Isaiah opposed both policies alike. Faith in God, not reliance on foreign powers, is Judah’s only hope for survival. The... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 28:7

"And even these reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink; the priest and the prophet reel with strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they stagger with strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so there is no place clean."If Isaiah 28:5-6 are considered as a parenthesis, which they manifestly are, then these words are a continued description of the debaucheries of Ephraim. Some have tried to explain the drunkenness of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 28:7-8

Isaiah 28:7-8. But they also have erred, &c.— But they also stagger with wine, and reel with strong drink: the priest and the prophet stagger through strong drink; they are drowned in wine; they reel with strong drink, &c. We have observed that a new set of men are here introduced, who are shewn to be guilty of the same vice with the Ephraimites above-mentioned; that is to say, of corrupting religion and judgment. It is plain that the priests and prophets, the teachers, scribes, judges,... read more

The prophet now turns to Judah; a gracious promise to the remnant ("residue"); a warning lest through like sins Judah should share the fate of Samaria. crown—in antithesis to the "fading crown" of Ephraim (Isaiah 28:1; Isaiah 28:3). the residue—primarily, Judah, in the prosperous reign of Hezekiah (Isaiah 28:3- :), antitypically, the elect of God; as He here is called their "crown and diadem," so are they called His (Isaiah 62:3); a beautiful reciprocity. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 28:7-8

The priests and the false prophets in Judah, on the other hand, drank so much that their visions and judgments were distorted, and they degraded themselves by vomiting all over their tables. [Note: See Leon J. Wood, The Prophets of Israel, ch. 7: "False Prophecy in Israel," for a good discussion of this subject.] Isaiah chose onomatopoetic words in Hebrew to mimic the staggering and stumbling of the drunkards: shagu-taghu, shagu-taghu, shagu-paqu. read more
