8 For all tables are full of filthy vomit,with no space left.
9 “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.”
11 For by people of strange lipsand with a foreign tonguethe Lord will speak to this people,
12 to whom he has said, “This is rest;give rest to the weary;and this is repose”;yet they would not hear.
13 And the word of the Lord will be to themprecept upon precept, precept upon precept,line upon line, line upon line,here a little, there a little, that they may go, and fall backward,and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scoffers,who rule this people in Jerusalem!
