8 Indeed, all the tables are covered with vomit;no place is untouched.
9 Who is the Lord trying to teach?To whom is he explaining a message?Those just weaned from milk!Those just taken from their mother’s breast!
10 Indeed, they will hear meaningless gibberish,senseless babbling,a syllable here, a syllable there.
11 For with mocking lips and a foreign tonguehe will speak to these people.
12 In the past he said to them,“This is where security can be found.Provide security for the one who is exhausted!This is where rest can be found.”But they refused to listen.
13 So the Lord’s word to them will sound likemeaningless gibberish,senseless babbling,a syllable here, a syllable there.As a result, they will fall on their backsides when they try to walk,and be injured, ensnared, and captured.
14 Therefore, listen to the Lord’s word,you who mock,you rulers of these peoplewho reside in Jerusalem!
