“Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.”
Then God acts again: "Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a warrior shouting because of wine." The personification of God awakening from sleep suggests a period of inaction during which judgment was allowed to transpire. God's awakening brings a renewed assertion of power; the image of a warrior shouting because of wine suggests intoxication with righteous anger.
