Isaiah 28:6-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 and a spirit of justice to the one who sits in judgment
and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.(A)
7 These also reel with wine
and stagger with strong drink;
the priest and the prophet reel with strong drink;
they are confused with wine;
they stagger with strong drink;
they err in vision;
they stumble in giving judgment.(B)
8 All tables are covered with filthy vomit;
no place is clean.(C)

Isaiah 28:6-8
New International Version
6 He will be a spirit of justice(A)
to the one who sits in judgment,(B)
a source of strength
to those who turn back the battle(C) at the gate.
7 And these also stagger(D) from wine(E)
and reel(F) from beer:
Priests(G) and prophets(H) stagger from beer
and are befuddled with wine;
they reel from beer,
they stagger when seeing visions,(I)
they stumble when rendering decisions.
8 All the tables are covered with vomit(J)
and there is not a spot without filth.

Isaiah 28:6-8
King James Version
6 And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
7 But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.
