Isaiah 28:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ So ·they make fun of the Lord’s prophet and say [or the Lord must repeat himself again and again; ^LFor it is]:
    “·A command here, a command there [^TPrecept upon precept, precept upon precept].
    ·A rule here, a rule there [^TLine upon line, line upon line; ^CHebrew: tsav latsav tsav latsav / kav lakav kav lakav; it may be the people mocking the words of the prophets as nonsense; or it may refer to God repeating himself because the people will not listen].
    A little lesson here, a little lesson there [^LA little there, a little there].”
¹¹ So the Lord will use ·strange words [mocking/stammering lips] and foreign ·languages [tongues]
    to speak to these people.
¹² God said to them,
“Here is a place of rest;
    let the ·tired people [weary] come and rest.
This is the place of peace.”
    But the people would not listen.
