Eternal One: 12 This is the way: here is rest for the weary.
        I am showing you rest.

But they wouldn’t listen to Him.[a]

    “Command after command. Command on top of command.
Rule after rule. Rule on top of rule. A little here, a little there.”
    But they’ll go and fail. They’ll fall back, broken and trapped,
    and be taken away by another people.

    you leaders in Jerusalem.

    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)

    who rule this people in Jerusalem.
