Isaiah 1:22
Douay-Rheims
Thy silver is turned into dress: thy wine is mingled with water.
Rashi
Your silver has become dross They would make copper coins and plate them with silver, in order to cheat with them. your wine is diluted with water Your drinks are mixed with water, as is stated in Pesikta (122b). [The word] means ‘mixed,’ although there is no similar word in Scripture to prove it, but the Midrash Aggadah explains (Ecc. 2:2): “Of laughter I said, it makes one mad (מְהוֹלָל)” to mean that it is confused, or mixed up.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
