Isaiah 28:11-13
English Standard Version Anglicised
11 (A)For by people of strange lips
and with a foreign tongue
the Lord will speak to this people,
12 to whom he has said,
(B)“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 them
precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
line upon line, line upon line,
here a little, there a little,
(C)that they may go, and fall backwards,
and be broken, and snared, and taken.
Isaiah 28:11-13
New International Version
11 Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues(A)
God will speak to this people,(B)
12 to whom he said,
“This is the resting place, let the weary rest”;(C)
and, “This is the place of repose”—
but they would not listen.
13 So then, the word of the Lord to them will become:
Do this, do that,
a rule for this, a rule for that;
a little here, a little there(D)—
so that as they go they will fall backward;
they will be injured(E) and snared and captured.(F)
