Habakkuk 2:15-19

I should conceive, that in allusion to gospel salvation, which the enemies of the cross will endeavour to counteract, the expressions here mean the awful character of those who aim to intoxicate the minds of men, in order to keep them from that knowledge of Christ, and the glories of his person, which is promised to fill the earth. We know that the Holy Ghost, in reference to mystical Babylon, calls her delusions by the name of the wine of wrath, and of fornication. Revelation 14:8. And in explaining this state by the drunkenness of Noah, whom Ham, his son, intoxicated, it is called making a man drunk to look on his nakedness; that is, in respect of divine things, for a drunken man knoweth not what he consents to. But shame, as this scripture declares, will be instead of glory; and well it may, when men subscribe to things under the state of a deluded mind!
