Isaiah 28:7-13

Christian Standard Bible

⁷ Even these stagger because of wine
and stumble under the influence of beer:
Priest and prophet stagger because of beer.
They are confused by wine.^(A)
They stumble because of beer.
They are muddled in their visions.
They stumble in their judgments.
⁸ Indeed, all their tables are covered with vomit;
there is no place without a stench.
⁹ Who is he trying to teach?
Who is he trying to instruct?
Infants^[a] just weaned from milk?
Babies^[b] removed from the breast?
¹⁰ “Law after law, law after law,
line after line, line after line,
a little here, a little there.”^[c]
11 For he will speak to this people
with stammering speech
and in a foreign language.^(B)
12 He had said to them,
“This is the place of rest;
let the weary rest;^(C)
this is the place of repose.”
But they would not listen.

¹³ The word of the Lord will come to them:
“Law after law, law after law,
line after line, line after line,
a little here, a little there,”
so they go stumbling backward,
to be broken, trapped, and captured.^(D)
