Isaiah 5:11

Woe to you that rise up early in the morning to follow drunkenness, and to drink till the evening, to be inflamed with wine.

To follow. Hebrew, "for shecar," (Calmet) palm wine, (Theodoret) or any inebriating liquor. (St. Jerome in Isaias 28.) Our version is conformable to Aquila and Symmachus. (Haydock) --- Numbers 6:3., and Ecclesiastes 10:16.
