Isaiah 28:9-14

9Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.1 10For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:2 11For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.34 12To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. 13But the word of Yhwh was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

14Wherefore hear the word of Yhwh, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
