Musical Merriment Silencing Conscience
Isaiah 5:11-12
Woe to them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!…


"And the harp," etc. Better, And guitar and harp, tambourine and flute, and wine constitute their banquet; — as if to drown the voice of conscience and destroy the sense of Jehovah's presence and working in their midst.

(Prof. J. Skinner, D. D.)
