In the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, terms such as "μεθύω" (methyō, to be drunk) or "σαλεύω" (saleuō, to shake or be moved) might be used in contexts that convey a similar sense of reeling or staggering.

The imagery of reeling is powerful, evoking a sense of helplessness and vulnerability. In the Berean Standard Bible, this term is translated in a way that captures the vividness of the original Hebrew, emphasizing the dramatic impact of the situation being described.
