There’s vomit on all of the tables,
    filth all over the place.
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.”

“Who is it he is trying to teach?(B)
    To whom is he explaining his message?(C)
To children weaned(D) from their milk,(E)
    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.(F)
