8. For all tables have been full of vomit, Filth--without place!
9. By whom doth He teach knowledge? And by whom doth He cause to understand the report? The weaned from milk, the removed from breasts,
10. For rule [is] on rule, rule on rule, line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there,
11. For by scorned lip, and by another tongue, Doth He speak unto this people.
12. Unto whom He hath said, `This [is] the rest, give ye rest to the weary, And this--the refreshing:' And they have not been willing to hear,
13. And to whom a word of Jehovah hath been, Rule on rule, rule on rule, line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there, So that they go and have stumbled backward, And been broken, and snared, and captured.
14. Therefore, hear a word of Jehovah, ye men of scorning, Ruling this people that [is] in Jerusalem.
