(A)These also reel with wine
    and (B)stagger with strong drink;
the priest and (C)the prophet reel with strong drink,
    they are swallowed by[a] wine,
    they stagger with strong drink,
they reel in vision,
    they stumble in giving judgment.
For all tables are full of filthy vomit,
    with no space left.

(D)“To whom will he teach knowledge,
    and to whom will he explain the message?
Those who are weaned from the milk,
    those taken from the breast?

And these also stagger(A) from wine(B)

they reel from beer,
    they stagger when seeing visions,(F)

All the tables are covered with vomit(G)

To children weaned(J) from their milk,(K)
    to those just taken from the breast?

Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
