became sick with the heat of wine;
he stretched out his hand with mockers.

all night their anger smolders;
in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.

and they devour their rulers.
All (C)their kings (D)have fallen,
and none of them calls upon me.

they stagger with strong drink,
they reel in vision,
they stumble in giving judgment.
8 For all tables are full of filthy vomit,
with no space left.
