Isaiah 28:13-15
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
Isaiah 28:13-15
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
13 Therefore the word of the Lord will be to them,
‘Precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
line upon line, line upon line,
here a little, there a little’;[a]
in order that they may go, and fall backwards,
and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scoffers
who rule this people in Jerusalem.
15 Because you have said, ‘We have made a covenant with death,
and with Sheol we have an agreement;
when the overwhelming scourge passes through
it will not come to us;
for we have made lies our refuge,
and in falsehood we have taken shelter’;

New International Version
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(A)—
so that as they go they will fall backward;
they will be injured(B) and snared and captured.(C)
14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord,(D) you scoffers(E)
who rule this people in Jerusalem.
15 You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death,(F)
with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement.
When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by,(G)
it cannot touch us,
for we have made a lie(H) our refuge
and falsehood[a] our hiding place.(I)”
