Isaiah 28:9-12

9They say, ‘Why does the Lord try to teach us like that? Who does he think that we are? He speaks to us as if we are babies! He thinks that we have just left our mother's breast!

10He teaches us one rule at a time, one line at a time. He says it several times, a little bit here, a little bit there.’

11So now the Lord will use foreign enemies to speak to these people. He will speak to them in a strange language.

12In the past, he said to them, ‘This is a place where you can rest when you are tired. It is a place where you can be safe.’ But his people refused to listen.
