While they be

All the evildoers will be like thorns to be pushed away. They may not be gripped in the hand:

The best of them is as a brier. The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge! Your watchmen's day has come. Your visitation has come. Now you will be perplexed.

For you know perfectly that the Day of Jehovah will come like a thief in the night. (Zephaniah 1:14)

Drunken

Nineveh, you will stagger like a drunk. You will disappear. You will look for a fortress to escape from the enemy.

When Abigail came to Nabal, he was holding a banquet in his home. It was like a king's banquet. He was in a good mood and very drunk, so she did not tell him anything until dawn.

Absalom gave an order to his servants: Watch now and when Amnon begins to feel good from drinking too much wine, I will tell you, Attack Amnon. Then kill him. Do not be afraid. I give this order. Be strong and courageous.

When they become heated up, I will serve them their banquet and make them drunk, that they may become jubilant. Then they may sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake up, declares Jehovah.
