1:15
So , wine , personified in a similar manner , mocks at the folly of those who refuse it . -LRB- Applause . -RRB- Strong drink is raging . Just as in Jonah 1:15 , the sea was raging in protest against Jonah because he refused to preach the truth to the people . So in this passage , ` strong drink is raging , ' because so many church-members and ministers refuse to preach the real truth to the people on the subject of strong drink . -LRB- Prolonged applause . -RRB- If there were as much said against me falsely , as has been spoken against strong drink , I would not only rage , but would go raging and foaming over this stage in protest .
