Isaiah 28:6-8
International Standard Version
6 and a spirit of justice to the one who sits in judgment,
a source of strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
7 These people also[a] stagger from wine
and reel from strong drink.
Priests and prophets stagger from strong drink;
they’re drunk from[b] wine;
they reel from strong drink,
waver when seeing visions,
and stumble when rendering decisions.
8 For all the tables are covered in vomit and filth,
with no clean[c] space left.

New International Version
6 He will be a spirit of justice(A)
to the one who sits in judgment,(B)
a source of strength
to those who turn back the battle(C) at the gate.
7 And these also stagger(D) from wine(E)
and reel(F) from beer:
Priests(G) and prophets(H) stagger from beer
and are befuddled with wine;
they reel from beer,
they stagger when seeing visions,(I)
they stumble when rendering decisions.
8 All the tables are covered with vomit(J)
and there is not a spot without filth.
