Isaiah 51:21

"Your sons have fainted. They lie at the head of all the streets, like an antelope in a net. They are full of the LORD’s wrath, the rebuke of your God."

Key Reflection

In Isaiah 51:21, this verse paints a vivid picture of spiritual despair and judgment, where people have lost their strength (fainted) and fallen into sin (lied at the streets), likening them to trapped antelopes. Their condition is a result of divine retribution, reflecting God's anger and rebuke towards His people for their wicked ways.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And drunken, but not with wine -Overcome and prostrate, but not under the influence of intoxicating drink. They were prostrate by the wrath of God.
