    and foreign languages
        the Lord will speak to this people
12 to whom he said,
    “This is the resting place,
        so give rest to the weary”’

    “This is the place of repose”—
        but they would not listen.
13 So, then, the message from the Lord to them will become:
    “Do this and do that,
        do this and do that,
    line upon line,
        line upon line,
    a little here,
        a little there,”
so that they will go,
    but fall backward,
        and be injured, snared, and captured.
