And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands.

'And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands' — Isaiah's sixth woe catalogues the festive culture of Jerusalem's élite, where music and wine consume attention that ought to be directed toward discerning God's activity in history. The critique is not of music or wine per se but of the misdirection of human perception: the 'work of the Lord' visible in international events (Assyrian threat, covenant consequences) goes unacknowledged amid comfortable entertainment. The same diagnosis is applied in Amos 6:4–6 to the 'careless in Zion,' suggesting a consistent prophetic critique of anesthetic pleasure as a mechanism for avoiding theological and moral responsibility.
