The priests and prophets mock:
    “Who is left for God to instruct in knowledge?
    Who will listen and understand His message?
Maybe those infants just weaned off of milk,
    those innocents just taken from the breast?
10 For here is how it goes: Command after command. Command on top of command.
    Rule after rule. Rule on top of rule. A little here, A little there.”
11 For now that God’s people reject His message,
    He will speak to them through the stammering lips
And foreign language of an invader.[a]

    to those just taken from the breast?
10 For it is:
    Do this, do that,
    a rule for this, a rule for that[a];
    a little here, a little there.(E)

11 Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues(F)
    God will speak to this people,(G)
