Isaiah 28:12-14

Expanded Bible

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.
¹³ So the words of the Lord will be,
“·A command here, a command there [^TPrecept upon precept, precept upon precept].
    ·A rule here, a rule there [^TLine upon line, line upon line].
    ·A little lesson here, a little lesson there [^LA little there, a little there; ^Csee v. 10; God now uses the same words to mimic the foreign language of the Assyrian invaders].”
They will fall back and be ·defeated [broken];
    they will be ·trapped and captured [snared and taken].
