Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 3. - Thou hast showed thy people hard things; literally, a hard thing, or harshness; i.e. severity. Thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment; or, of trembling (as in Isaiah 51:17, 22); comp. Psalm 75:8; Jeremiah 25:15-17: 49:12; Ezekiel 23:32-34; Zechariah 12:2. The outpouring of Divine vengeance is represented under the figure of presenting a cup, which the doomed man is forced to drink.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) Hard things--i.e., a hard fate.Wine of astonishment.--Literally, either wine of reeling--i.e., an intoxicating draught--or wine as reeling--i.e., bewilderment like wine, or wine, which is not wine, but bewilderment, according as we take the construction.In any case the figure is the same which meets us often in Hebrew poetry (comp. Psalm 75:8-9; Isaiah 51:17; Isaiah 51:22; Jeremiah 25:15, &c) expressing that infatuation which the heathen proverb so well describes:--"Quem Deus vult perdere prius dementat." . . .
