“Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.”
The reference to those who make plans for excessive drinking and gathering for revelry, promising to gather again tomorrow, indicates that the passage addresses those whose focus on sensual pleasure and hedonism prevents them from attending to the divine purposes. This verse characterizes the pursuit of pleasure as a form of spiritual distraction that diverts attention from God's purposes and the approaching judgment. The repetition of the promise to continue the revelry suggests habitual indulgence rather than occasional celebration. The verse indicates that attachment to pleasure and sensuality becomes a barrier to understanding and responding to God's purposes.
