In vision; describes the prophetic state in Isaiah 28:7 where priests reel in their prophetic visions
This masculine noun phrase means 'in vision' or 'in their vision,' appearing in Isaiah 28:7 to describe the compromised state of priests and prophets. The context depicts religious leaders so intoxicated that they 'reel in vision' and 'stumble in judgment'—their prophetic sight is clouded by drunkenness. This is a devastating critique: the very faculty that should provide divine guidance (prophetic vision) has been corrupted. The parallel structure with 'stumble in judgment' emphasizes that both seeing (vision) and deciding (judgment) have been impaired by moral failure.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Isaiah 28:7 condemns Judah's leaders: 'These also reel with wine and stagger with strong drink; priest and prophet reel with strong drink... they reel in vision, they stumble in judgment.' The phrase 'in vision' (בָּרֹאֶה) describes the very moment when prophets should be receiving divine revelation, yet they're too drunk to function. Spanish 'en la visión' and the prepositional construction emphasize the locational sense—they are foundering at the precise point where they should be most clear-sighted. This is prophetic irony at its sharpest: those tasked with seeing God's word are blind with wine. 1×
