Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.
Because of the prophets - so the Masorites and Targum. But the Vulgate, Septuagint, etc., make this the inscription of the prophecy, CONCERNING THE PROPHETS х lanªbi'iym (H5030)]: as in Jeremiah 46:2; Jeremiah 48:1; Jeremiah 49:1. Jeremiah expresses his horror at the so-called "prophets" not warning the people, though iniquity so fearfully abounded, soon to be followed by awful judgments.
All my bones shake - (Habakkuk 3:16).
I am like a drunken man. God's judgments are represented as stupifying like wine. The effects of the Holy Spirit also are compared to those of wine (Acts 2:17). In both cases ecstasy was produced. This accounts for the denial of wine to those likely to be inspired, Nazarites, John the Baptist, etc. (Luke 1:15). It was necessary to put it out of men's power to ascribe inspired ecstasy to the effects of wine.
Because of the words of his holiness - because of Yahweh's holy words, wherewith He threatened severe penalties, soon to be inflicted against the breakers of His law.
