Isaiah 28:7-13
Legacy Standard Bible
7 And these also (A)reel with wine and stagger from strong drink:
(B)The priest and (C)the prophet reel with strong drink;
They are swallowed up by wine, they stagger from (D)strong drink;
They reel while [a]having (E)visions;
They totter when rendering a verdict.
8 For all the tables are full of filthy (F)vomit, without a single clean place.
9 “(G)Whom would He instruct in knowledge,
And whom would He provide understanding about the report?
Those just (H)weaned from milk?
Those just taken from the breast?
10 For He says,
‘[b](I)Order on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there.’”
11 Indeed, He will speak to this people
Through (J)stammering lips and a foreign tongue,
12 He who said to them, “Here is (K)rest, give rest to the weary,”
And, “Here is repose,” but they would not listen.
13 So the word of Yahweh to them will be,
“[c]Order on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there,”
That they may go and (L)stumble backward, be broken, snared, and taken captive.
