“Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:”
Isaiah 5:22 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 5:22
Woe pronounced on those 'mighty to drink wine' and 'men of strength to mingle strong drink' satirizes misapplied valor—strength wasted on debauchery rather than righteousness. The ironic 'mighty' and 'strength' applied to drinking capacity mocks perverted values where prowess in vice replaces virtue. This anticipates Proverbs 23:29-35's warning against alcohol excess and Paul's command for sobriety rather than drunkenness (Ephesians 5:18).
