Isaiah 28:9-17

9Whom will he teachH3384 knowledgeH1844? and whom will he make to understandH995 the messageH8052? them that are weanedH1580 from the milkH2461, and drawn from the breastsH7699? 10For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a littleH2191, there a littleH2191.

11Nay, but bymen of strange lipsH8193 and with another tongueH3956 will he speakH1696 to this peopleH5971; 12to whom he saidH559, This is the restH5117, giveH5117 ye restH5117 to him that is wearyH5889; and this is the refreshing: yet they wouldH14 not hearH8085. 13Therefore shall the wordH1697 of Jehovah beH1961 unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a littleH2191, there a littleH2191; that they may go, and fall backwardH268, and beH1961 brokenH7665, and snared, and takenH3920.

14Wherefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 of Jehovah, ye scoffers, that ruleH4910 this peopleH5971 that is in JerusalemH3389: 15Because ye have saidH559, We have madeH6213 a covenantH1285 with deathH4194, and with SheolH7585 are we at agreement; when the overflowingH7857 scourge shall passH5674 through, it shall not comeH935 unto us; for we have madeH6213 liesH8267 our refugeH4268, and under falsehoodH8267 have we hidH5641 ourselves: 16thereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah, Behold, I lay in ZionH6726 for a foundation a stoneH68, a tried stoneH68, a preciousH3368 corner-stoneH68 of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not be in haste. 17And I will makeH7760 justiceH4941 the line, and righteousnessH6666 the plummet; and the hailH1259 shall sweep away the refugeH4268 of liesH3577, and the watersH4325 shall overflowH7857 the hiding-place.
