Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 9 is found in chapter 29 of Isaiah. Ariel, the poetic name for Jerusalem, will be surrounded and humbled, but will later experience an unexpected intervention. The people honor God with their lips while their hearts remain far from him. The criticism therefore reaches a formal religiosity that does not correspond to inner obedience.

Erstarret und werdet bestürzt, verblendet euch und werdet blind! Werdet trunken, doch nicht vom Wein, taumelt, doch nicht von starkem Getränk!
Deteneos y maravillaos; ofuscaos y cegad; embriagaos, y no de vino; titubead, y no de sidra.
Soyez stupéfaits et étonnés! Fermez les yeux et devenez aveugles! Ils sont ivres, mais ce n'est pas de vin; Ils chancellent, mais ce n'est pas l'effet des liqueurs fortes.
Fermatevi, e vi maravigliate; sclamate, e gridate: essi sono ebbri, e non di vino; vacillano, e non di cervogia.
Tardai, e maravilhai-vos, folgai, e clamai; bêbados estão, mas não de vinho, andam titubeando, mas não de bebida forte.
你們等候驚奇吧! 你們沉迷宴樂吧! 他們醉了,卻非因酒; 東倒西歪,卻非因烈酒。
