Drunkenness is a sign of a decadent and disintegrating society. We need to be in control of ourselves, not out of control.
Verses 9-10 record the response of Isaiah's hearers. They thought they had nothing to learn, and they objected to being "told what to do". Today there is a very similar attitude.
So God takes them at their word and will speak to them in a foreign language. He would do this by sending the Assyrian army.
God offered peace and security, but the people would have none of it. And the word of God would become nonsense to them. The people thought they had made a pact that would keep them safe from attack, safe from death. This refuge would prove to be false. The Lord is the only place of security.
