JFB: Isa 63:6

Clarke: Isa 63:6

And make them drunk in my fury "And I crushed them in mine indignation"- For ואשכרם vaashkerem , and I made them drunken, twenty-seven MSS., (three ancient), twelve of De Rossi’ s, and the old edition of 1488, have ואשברם vaashabberem , and I crushed them: and so the Syriac and Chaldee. The Septuagint have omitted this whole line.

Calvin: Isa 63:6 - And I will tread down the peoples // And will make them drunk // And will cast down their strength to the earth

6.And I will tread down the peoples From the preceding statement he draws the conclusion, that God’s wrath is sufficiently powerful to destroy the wicked, without calling for the assistance of others; and he does so in order that the Jews may not be deterred from cherishing favorable hopes by the strength that is arrayed against them.

And will make them drunk The expression, “make drunk,” must here be taken in a different sense from what it formerly had in some passages. We have seen that sometimes we are made drunk, when God strikes us with fury or madness, (Isa 29:9,) or with a spirit of giddiness, (Isa 19:14,) or, in a word, “gives us up to a reprobate mind.” (Rom 1:28.) But here it means nothing else than “to fill,” and to strike even to satiety, or, as we commonly say, ( tout leur saoul ,) “to their heart’s content;” a metaphor which the prophets frequently employ.

And will cast down their strength to the earth. That is, though they think that they are invincible, yet I will cast down and destroy them. The meaning may be thus summed up. “The Jews, when they are afflicted, must not call in question their salvation, as if God hated them, and must not be amazed at the chastisements which they endure, as if they happened by chance; for other nations, by whom they are now oppressed, shall be punished, there shall be a revolution of affairs, and they shall not escape who chant a triumph before the time. He produces as an example the Edomites, because they were nearer and better known than others, and were also the most injurious.

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Isa 63:6 - Make them drunk // I will bring down their strength to the earth

Make them drunk: the Hebrew often expresseth calamities by a cup of wine, or strong drink, by which the distressed persons are made drunk, Psa 75:8 Isa 51:21,22 ; they go as it were to and fro, not knowing what to do with themselves; and in special drunk with their own blood, Isa 49:26 Rev 16:6 .

I will bring down their strength to the earth whatever it is wherein their strength lies, their strong ones, or their strong places, or deep counsels, &c., he will bring to the very dust, to nothing; like drunken men, they shall fall to the ground, not being able to stand; the most miserable condition that men can fall into, Psa 36:12 .

Haydock: Isa 63:6 - Drunk

Drunk with the wine of my fury, Psalm lxxiv. 9., and Ezechiel xxiii. 31. (Haydock)

Gill: Isa 63:6 - And I will tread down the people in mine anger // and make them drunk in my fury // and I will bring down their strength to the earth

And I will tread down the people in mine anger,.... See Gill on Isa 63:3,

and make them drunk in my fury; or with it ^s the wrath of God is signified by a cup, which he gives wicked men to drink, and which is an inebriating one to them, Psa 75:8, and here it signifies the cup of the wine of the fierceness of God's wrath, which shall be given to mystical Babylon, to antichrist and his followers, Rev 14:10,

and I will bring down their strength to the earth; their strong kingdoms, fortified cities, and mighty men, their wealth and riches, of which they boasted, and in which they trusted; see Isa 26:5. The eighteenth chapter of the Revelation is a commentary on these words.
