God warns Jeremiah that he will send drunkenness on everyone in the land, and he will smash them against each other. I think of how often drunkenness can send people into to place where they will attack those closest to them. When I see this, I think God is saying, This is what you want, then I will give it to you. Whether it is or not, God is saying that they will be like the drunk, confused, and powerless.
Even with this, God says he wants Israel to repent before it's too late. Alas, before long, it will be for the nation, but God will save some by taking them into exile. That we'll read about later.
