“And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.”
The statement that they will drink and reel and be crazed because of the sword God sends represents the effects of the cup—disorientation, loss of control, and vulnerability to destruction. The reeling suggests that judgment creates chaos and eliminates the ability to respond effectively. The crazed condition emphasizes the breakdown of normal rationality and capacity. The image shows that judgment incapacitates.
