Isaiah 28:12-14
New American Standard Bible
12 He who said to them, “This is the (A)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 (B)stumble backward, be broken, snared, and taken captive.
Judah Is Warned
14 Therefore, (C)hear the word of the Lord, you (D)scoffers,
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
Footnotes
- 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 28:12-14
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)
