Isaiah 28:9-11
Contemporary English Version

9 You drunken leaders
    are like babies!
How can you possibly understand
    or teach the Lord's message?
10 You don't even listen—
all you hear is senseless sound
    after senseless sound.[a]

11 (A) So, the Lord will speak
    to his people
in strange sounds
    and foreign languages.[b]
