A childless old woman who is drunk on wine is about as defenceless and vulnerable as life can get in Old Testament times.
This woman who represents the city of Jerusalem has been brought down by her own personal four horsemen: ruin, destruction, famine and sword.
She is inconsolable and her children are as powerless as she is, lying unconscious on the ground like an antelope caught in a net and which has fainted from fear.
The prophet Isaiah is one of literature's great poets and his book is rich in metaphors like this one.
I hope you love it as much as I do.
