Verse 18. Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her Rulers with shame do love, Give ye.
Verse 18. Their drink is sowr: they have committed whoredom continually: her Rulers with shame do love, Give ye.
Their drink is sour.] I find some Interpreters carry this word thus,1 as if it noted their excess in drunkenness and luxury, as if they poured down drink till it soured in them, and then they vomited it up; So Luther translates the words, they do most filthily and vildly gormandize drink, and eat and pamper themselves. I remember Luther upon the place hath this note, saith he, Idolaters they love to pamper the flesh, they drink even to vomiting again, but for the true worshipping of God, that saith he, is cut more short in these outward things, and it is hungry and cold. We find that the false prophets were pampered at Jezebels table, when poor Micaiah was fain to be fed with bread and water of affliction. So Luther and divers other Interpreters carry the word. But I think there is more in it.
