Isaiah 28:12-14
Amplified Bible
12
He who said to them, “This is the place of quiet, give rest to the weary,”
And, “This is the resting place,” yet they would not listen.
13
Therefore the word of the Lord to them will be [merely monotonous repetitions]:
“Precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
Rule upon rule, rule upon rule,
Here a little, there a little.”
That they may go and stumble backward, and be broken, ensnared, and taken captive.
Judah Is Warned
14
Therefore, hear the word of the Lord, you arrogant men
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem!
Isaiah 28:12-14
New International Version
12 to whom he said,
“This is the resting place, let the weary rest”;(A)
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(B)—
so that as they go they will fall backward;
they will be injured(C) and snared and captured.(D)
