Isaiah 28:11-13
Lexham English Bible

11 For he will speak with stammering[a] and another tongue to this people, 12 to whom he has said,

“This is rest; give rest to the weary;
    and this is repose”; yet[b] they were not willing to hear.

13 And to them the word of Yahweh will be

blah-blah upon blah-blah
    blah-blah upon blah-blah
gah-gah upon gah-gah
    gah-gah upon gah-gah,[c]
a little here, a little there,
so that they may go and stumble backward
    and be broken and ensnared and captured.
