Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!

The verse 11 is found in chapter 5 of Isaiah. The six woes denounce different expressions of corruption: accumulation of property, excessive drinking, indifference to God’s work, moral relativism, pride, and judicial corruption. The chapter ends by presenting a foreign nation as an instrument of judgment. Unjust prosperity is not interpreted as a permanent blessing, but as a condition that can lead to ruin.

Weh denen, die des Morgens früh auf sind, des Saufens sich zu fleißigen, und sitzen bis in die Nacht, daß sie der Wein erhitzt,
¡Ay de los que se levantan de mañana para seguir la embriaguez; que se están hasta la noche, hasta que el vino los enciende!
¡Ay de los que madrugan para ir tras la bebida fuerte, de los que se quedan hasta tarde en la noche, hasta que el vino los enciende!
Malheur à ceux qui de bon matin Courent après les boissons enivrantes, Et qui bien avant dans la nuit Sont échauffés par le vin!
Guai a coloro che si levano la mattina a buon’ora, per andar dietro alla cervogia, e la sera dimorano lungamente a bere, finchè il vino li riscaldi!
Ai dos que se levantam pela manhã, e seguem a bebedice; e continuam até à noite, até que o vinho os esquente!
禍哉!那些清晨早起,追尋烈酒, 因酒狂熱,流連到深夜的人,
