Then the master will cut him to pieces. He will send the servant to the place where unbelievers go.

Isaiah 28:7-8
Israel’s leaders are drunk from wine. They can’t walk straight. They are drunk from beer. They are unsteady on their feet. Priests and prophets drink beer. They can’t walk straight. They are mixed up from drinking too much wine. They drink too much beer. They are unsteady on their feet. The prophets see visions but don’t really understand them. The priests aren’t able to make good decisions.They throw up. All the tables are covered with the mess they’ve made. There isn’t one spot on the tables that isn’t smelly and dirty.

They started out at noon. At that time Ben- Hadad and the 32 kings helping him were in their tents. They were getting drunk.The junior officers who were under Ahab’s area commanders marched out first. Ben- Hadad had sent out scouts. They came back and reported,“ Men are marching against us from Samaria.”Ben- Hadad said,“ They might be coming to make peace. If they are, take them alive. Or they might be coming to make war. If they are, take them alive.”The junior officers marched out of the city. The army was right behind them.Each man struck down the one fighting against him. When that happened, the army of Aram ran away. The Israelites chased them. But Ben- Hadad, the king of Aram, escaped on a horse. Some of his horsemen escaped with him.The king of Israel attacked them. He overpowered the horses and chariots. Large numbers of the men of Aram were wounded or killed.After that, the prophet came to the king of Israel again. The prophet said,“ Make your position stronger. Do what needs to be done. Next spring the king of Aram will attack you again.”
