Isaiah 56:12 Douay-Rheims

Come, let us take wine, and be filled with drunkenness: and it shall be as today, so also tomorrow, and much more.

Ibn Ezra

1089–1167 Jewish

Come ye, etc. The money which they acquire unjustly, they spend in feasting, and one shepherd says to his fellow- shepherd, Come, let us buy wine. ונסבאה שכר And let us fill ourselves with strong drink. Let us make ourselves drunk. Comp. סבאי יין wine-bibbers (Prov. 23:20). And to-morrow shall be as this day. They do this not one day alone but day after day. יתר More abundant. It is an adjective. The morrow shall excel to-day in pleasure and feasting.
