The city of confusion, &c.— We have here the sixth gradation, which requires no other comment than to be compared with the history, Genesis 3:45, &c. See also ch. Isaiah 16:8-10 which will explain the phrase, There is a crying for wine in the streets. Wine here denotes the matter of joy and mirth, as appears from the next words; There is a crying for want of wine; i.e. for the want of that joy and mirth which is produced by wine. See Vitringa.
