To make drunken, must here be taken in a contrary sense, to that which it is in some other places, which we have expounded heretofore; as in Chap. 29.9. one while we are said to be drunk when God takes from us our senses, or smites us with giddiness; or when as at length he gives us up into a reprobate mind. But it here signifies no other thing, but to fill, or to beat them to the full, as we commonly say: and this similitude is often used of the Prophets.
