Isaiah 28:12-14

International Standard Version

¹² to whom he said,
    “This is the resting place,
        so give rest to the weary”’
and,
    “This is the place of repose”—
        but they would not listen.
¹³ So, then, the message from the Lord to them will become:
    “Do this and do that,
        do this and do that,
    line upon line,
        line upon line,
    a little here,
        a little there,”
so that they will go,
    but fall backward,
        and be injured, snared, and captured.

¹⁴ “Therefore hear^[a] the message from the Lord, you scoffers
    who rule this people that are in Jerusalem.
