“Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word; Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?”
The drunkenness image: 'Say to them: "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Every wineskin should be filled with wine." And if they say to you, "Don't we know that every wineskin should be filled with wine?""' This verse introduces a new image: wineskins filled with wine. The statement seems proverbial, suggesting something obvious. Theologically, this verse begins a new parable or metaphor about judgment.
