Isaiah 5:11 Douay-Rheims

Woe to you that rise up early in the morning to follow drunkenness, and to drink till the evening, to be inflamed with wine.

Philoxenus of Mabbug

c. A.D. 450–523 Patristic

Now this is the first lust which conquered the world, and because of it the first transgression of the law took place. Through it also the Prophet reproached the people, when he proclaimed, "Woe unto those who rise up early in the morning, and follow quickly thereafter."
