Isaiah 28:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 [a]Yes, with stammering lips and in a strange language
he will speak to this people,(A)
12 to whom he said:
“This is the resting place,
give rest to the weary;
And this is the place of repose”—
but they refused to hear.(B)
13 So for them the word of the Lord shall be:
“Command on command, command on command,
Rule on rule, rule on rule,
here a little, there a little!”
So that when they walk, they shall stumble backward,
broken, ensnared, and captured.(C)
