Isaiah 28:11-13
New American Standard Bible
Isaiah 28:11-13
New American Standard Bible
11 Indeed, He will speak to this people
Through (A)stammering lips and a foreign tongue,
12 He who said to them, “This is the (B)place of quiet, give rest to the weary,”
And, “This is the resting place,” but they would not listen.
13 So the word of the Lord to them will be,
“[a]Order on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there,”
That they may go and (C)stumble backward, be broken, snared, and taken captive.

- Isaiah 28:13 See note v 10. The Lord responds to their scoffing by imitating their mockery, to represent the unintelligible language of a conqueror.
Isaiah 28:11-13
New International Version
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)
