Isaiah 28:12-14
The Voice
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]
13 And so the word of the Eternal One to them will be just as they said:
“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.
14 Let this be a warning, the Eternal’s word to you sarcastic jokesters,
you leaders 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)
