Judgment on Ephraim
7These also stagger from wine and stumble from strong drink: Priests and prophets reel from strong drink and are befuddled by wine. They stumble because of strong drink, muddled in their visions and stumbling in their judgments. 8For all their tables are covered with vomit; there is not a place without filth. 9Whom is He trying to teach? To whom is He explaining His message? To infants just weaned from milk? To babies removed from the breast?…

For all their tables
The phrase "for all their tables" suggests a scene of widespread corruption and moral decay. In the Hebrew context, "tables" often symbolize places of fellowship, feasting, and decision-making. The table, a place meant for nourishment and community, has become a symbol of excess and degradation. Historically, tables in ancient Israel were central to family and community life, representing unity and shared values. The perversion of such a sacred space indicates a deep-seated societal collapse.

are covered with vomit
The imagery of tables "covered with vomit" is stark and visceral, illustrating the consequences of indulgence and sin. The Hebrew word for "vomit" (קִיא, qî) conveys a sense of repulsion and uncleanness. This graphic depiction serves as a metaphor for the spiritual and moral state of the people. In a broader biblical context, vomit is often associated with the rejection of what is impure or unclean (Proverbs 26:11). The image underscores the idea that the people's actions have led to their own defilement and disgrace.

there is not a place without filth
The phrase "there is not a place without filth" emphasizes the pervasive nature of the corruption. The Hebrew word for "filth" (צֹאָה, ṣô'â) can also mean excrement, further intensifying the image of uncleanness. This suggests that the moral decay has infiltrated every aspect of society, leaving no area untouched. Historically, the presence of filth in a community would render it ritually impure, preventing the people from approaching God in worship. This serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences of turning away from divine standards.

Verse 8. - So that there is no place clean. This is probably the true meaning, though the prophet simply says, "There is no place" (comp. Isaiah 5:8).
