    to speak to these people.
12 God said to them,
“Here is a place of rest;
    let the tired people come and rest.
This is the place of peace.”
    But the people would not listen.
13 So the words of the Lord will be,
“A command here, a command there.
    A rule here, a rule there.
    A little lesson here, a little lesson there.”
They will fall back and be defeated;
    they will be trapped and captured.

    they will be injured(E) and snared and captured.(F)
