But they also have erred But, alas! Judah is guilty of the same sins with Israel, therefore they also must expect the same calamities, of which he speaks afterward. The priest To whom strong drink was expressly forbidden in the time of their sacred ministrations; and the prophet The teachers, who should have been patterns of sobriety to the people, and to whom sobriety was absolutely necessary for the right discharge of their office; have erred In their conversation and in their holy administrations. They are swallowed up of wine They are, as we say, drowned in it. They err in vision The prophets miscarry in their sacred employment of prophesying or teaching, which is sometimes called vision. They stumble in judgment The priests mistake in pronouncing the sentence of the law, which was their duty.
