Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 5:22-23

_ _ Sixth Woe — against corrupt judges, who, “mighty” in drinking “wine” (a boast still not uncommon), if not in defending their country, obtain the means of self-indulgence by taking bribes (“reward”). The two verses are closely joined [Maurer].

_ _ mingle strong drink — not with water, but spices to make it intoxicating (Proverbs 9:2, Proverbs 9:5; Song of Songs 8:2).

_ _ take away the righteousness — set aside the just claims of those having a righteous cause.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 5:18-30.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 5:22

To mingle — To drink: the antecedent being put for the consequent: for they mingled it in order to drinking.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 5:22

Woe to [them that are] (c) mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mix strong drink:

(c) Who are never weary, but show their strength, and brag in gluttony and drunkenness.
