Isaiah 28:12-14

The Voice

Eternal One: ¹² This is the way: here is rest for the weary.
        I am showing you rest.

But they wouldn’t listen to Him.^[a]
13 And so the word of the Eternal One to them will be just as they said:
    “Command after command. Command on top of command.
Rule after rule. Rule on top of rule. A little here, a little there.”
    But they’ll go and fail. They’ll fall back, broken and trapped,
    and be taken away by another people.
¹⁴ Let this be a warning, the Eternal’s word to you sarcastic jokesters,
    you leaders in Jerusalem.
