Isaiah 28:9-14

9 WhomH4310 is He trying to teachH3384 H1844 ? To whomH4310 is He explainingH995 His messageH8052? To infants just weanedH1580 from milkH2461? To babies removedH6267 from the breastH7699?10ForH3588 they hear:1 “OrderH6673 on orderH6673, orderH6673 on orderH6673, lineH6957 on lineH6957, lineH6957 on lineH6957;2 a littleH2191 hereH8033, a littleH2191 thereH8033.”11IndeedH3588, with mockingH3934 lipsH8193 and foreignH312 tonguesH3956, He will speakH1696 toH413 thisH2088 peopleH5971 3 12to whomH834 He has saidH559 : “ThisH2063 is the place of restH4496, let the wearyH5889 restH5117; thisH2063 is the place of reposeH4774.”

But they wouldH14 notH3808 listenH8085.

13Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 to them will becomeH1961:“OrderH6673 on orderH6673, orderH6673 on orderH6673,lineH6957 on lineH6957, lineH6957 on lineH6957;a littleH2191 hereH8033, a littleH2191 thereH8033,”so thatH4616 they will goH1980 stumblingH3782 backwardH268and will be injuredH7665, ensnaredH3369, and capturedH3920.

14ThereforeH3651 hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, OH582 scoffersH3944who ruleH4910 thisH2088 peopleH5971 in JerusalemH3389.
