Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
That drink wine in bowls - Perhaps the costliness of the drinking vessels, more than the quantity drank, is that which is here reprehended by the prophet. Drinking vessels of the most costly materials, and of the most exquisite workmanship, are still in use; and as to precious ointments and perfumes among the Jews, we have a proof that the contents of one small box was worth three hundred denarii, at least seven pounds ten shillings sterling. See the case in the Gospel, Joh 12:5 (note), and the note there.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

John Gill Bible Commentary
That drink wine in bowls,.... Not in small cups or glasses, but in large bowls, that they might drink freely, even to drunkenness; hence we read of the drunkards of Ephraim, or the ten tribes, Isa 28:1; or "drink in bowls of wine"; which is much to the: same sense. The Targum is, "that drink wine in silver phials;'' and anoint themselves with the, chief ointments; which Jarchi says was balsam, and the best is that which grew about Jericho; this they did not for moderate refreshment, but for pleasure, and to indulge themselves in luxury: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph; or the "breach" of him (z); that was made upon him by some enemy or another: either what had been already made; Kimchi thinks it respects the carrying captive of some before the reign of Jeroboam; or it may regard the distress Pul king of Assyria gave to Israel, in the times of Menahem; or the carrying captive the inhabitants of several places by Tiglathpileser, king of Assyria, in the times of Pekah, Kg2 15:19; or else, as Jarchi thinks, this refers to some breach and affliction to come, which these men were unconcerned about; even what they heard from the mouth of the prophets should come to them; that the kingdom of the house of Israel should case, and be utterly took away, Hos 1:4; which was fulfilled by Shalmaneser, who carried Israel captive into the cities of the Medes, Kg2 17:6; but the prophecy of this did not trouble them, or make them sick at heart, as the word (a) signifies, nor any present affliction that might attend them; they did not weep with them that weep, were men of hard hearts, that had no sympathy with their brethren and fellow creatures. It is thought that here is some allusion to the attitude of Joseph's brethren to him, when in the pit, and sold by them into Egypt; or to the chief butler's forgetfulness of him, when advanced, and amidst his cups. (z) "super contritione", Pagninus, Montanus; "propter confractienem Josephi", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator; "ob fractionem Josephi", Cocceius. (a) "neque afficiuntur argritudine", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Cocceius.
Tyndale Open Study Notes
6:6 wine by the bowlful: The word translated bowl (Hebrew mizraq) is related to a verb meaning sprinkle or splash (Hebrew zaraq; see Exod 24:6); the same word identified the basins used for sprinkling blood or water in religious ceremonies (see 2 Kgs 12:13; 25:15), adding a sense of sacrilege to this description of their drunkenness. • of your nation: The Hebrew text reads of Joseph, referring to the northern kingdom of Israel; see study note on Amos 5:6.
Woe to Those at Ease in Zion
5You improvise songs on the harp like David and invent your own musical instruments. 6You drink wine by the bowlful and anoint yourselves with the finest oils, but you fail to grieve over the ruin of Joseph.

A Call to Anguish (Text Transcription)
By David Wilkerson6Spiritual AwakeningAnguish in PrayerNEH 1:1NEH 1:6ISA 30:21DAN 9:5AMO 6:6David Wilkerson delivers a powerful sermon titled 'A Call to Anguish,' emphasizing the urgent need for true anguish in prayer and the church's current state of passivity. He laments the empty rhetoric surrounding revival and the moral decay within society and the church, calling for a deep, heartfelt response to the spiritual ruin around us. Wilkerson highlights Nehemiah's example of anguish and prayer as a model for believers to follow, urging them to seek God's heart and feel His pain for the lost. He challenges the congregation to move beyond mere concern to a place of deep sorrow and intercession for their families and communities. Ultimately, he calls for a return to genuine prayer and a burden for the lost, promising that true joy and restoration come from this place of anguish.
