Jeremiah 32:27
"And you shall say to them, Thus said the Lord Almighty; Drink you⌃, be you⌃ drunken; and you⌃ shall vomit, and shall fall, and shall in nowise rise, because of the sword which I send among you."
Does God order others to get drunk in Jeremiah 25:27?
Critics accuse God of ordering others to get drunk in Jeremiah 25:27: "Drink, get drunk and vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the sword I will send among you." The entire oracle, though, refers to the "wine" of God's anger - not literal wine.
Does God order people to get drunk?
Critics accuse God of ordering people to get drunk:
> Then tell them, 'This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk and vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the sword I will send among you.' (Jeremiah 25:27)
The entire oracle, however, is highly metaphorical and refers to drinking the "wine" of God's anger and judgment, not literal alcoholic wine.
