10. For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept,line upon line, line upon line,here a little, there a little.”
11. For by people of strange lipsand with a foreign tonguethe Lord will speak to this people,
12. to whom he has said, “This is rest;give rest to the weary;and this is repose”;yet they would not hear.
13. And the word of the Lord will be to themprecept upon precept, precept upon precept,line upon line, line upon line,here a little, there a little, that they may go, and fall backward,and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14. Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scoffers,who rule this people in Jerusalem!
