Isaiah 28:8-10
The Voice
8 There’s vomit on all of the tables,
filth all over the place.
9 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.”
Isaiah 28:8-10
New King James Version
8 For all tables are full of vomit and filth;
No place is clean.
9 “Whom(A) will he teach knowledge?
And whom will he make to understand the message?
Those just weaned from milk?
Those just drawn from the breasts?
10 (B)For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept,
Line upon line, line upon line,
Here a little, there a little.”
Isaiah 28:8-10
English Standard Version
8 For all tables are full of filthy vomit,
with no space left.
9 (A)“To whom will he teach knowledge,
and to whom will he explain the message?
Those who are weaned from the milk,
those taken from the breast?
10 For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
line upon line, line upon line,
here a little, there a little.”
Isaiah 28:8-10
New International Version
8 All the tables are covered with vomit(A)
and there is not a spot without filth.
