The Deadly Fruit of Apostasy
The verse uses powerful imagery to describe the outcome of turning from God. Commentators explain that just as a corrupt vine (like that of Sodom, v.32) produces bad fruit, a people who turn from God produce actions and ways of life ('wine') that are spiritually deadly. Instead of nourishment, their choices yield the 'poison of serpents,' leading to destruction.
