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.

John Gill

1697–1771 Reformed

Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning,.... To rise up early in the morning is healthful, and to rise to do business is commendable; but to spend the day in drunkenness and intemperance is very criminal, which is here meant: that they may follow, strong drink; not only drink it, but follow on to drink; diligently seek after it, where the best is to be had; go from house to house till they have found it; closely follow the drinking of it, till inebriated with it: that continue until night; at their pots, with their drinking companions, even all the day till night comes, the twilight either of the evening or of the morning: till wine inflame them; their bodies with heat, and their souls with lust.
