11 Truly, with stammering lip
    and with alien tongue
he will speak to this people,
12     to whom he has said,
‘This is rest;
    give rest to the weary;
and this is repose’;
    yet they would not hear.
13 Therefore the word of the Lord will be to them,
    ‘Precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
    line upon line, line upon line,
    here a little, there a little’;[a]
in order that they may go, and fall backwards,
    and be broken, and snared, and taken.
