Haydock's commentary
Princes. The chief men joined in the schism and idolatry. (Worthington)
Mad, with drinking at the king's coronation, or at his coming to the crown. (Calmet)
Bacchus presents three cups to the wise; the fourth is the cup of petulance, the fifth of shouts, the sixth of debauchery, &c. (Athen. Dipsc. ii. 1.) (Ecclesiasticus xxxi. 38.)
Scorners. Septuagint, "pestilent people," who turn religion and piety to ridicule. Instead of repressing them, the king admits them to favour.
