Isaiah 28:7-13

Tree of Life Version

⁹ To whom will He teach knowledge?
To whom will He explain the message?
Those just weaned from milk?
Those just taken from the breast?
¹⁰ For it must be ‘precept upon precept,
precept upon precept,
line upon line, line upon line,
here a little, there a little.’
¹¹ For through stammering lips and a foreign tongue
He will speak to this people,
¹² To whom He said,
    “Here is rest, give rest to the weary,
    here is repose”—but they would not listen.
¹³ So the word of Adonai is to them
‘precept on precept, precept on precept,
line upon line, line upon line,
here a little, there a little.’
So they walk, and fall backward,
and are broken, trapped, and captured.
