Isaiah 28:8-13

View Full Chapter

8All the tables are covered with vomit and there is not a spot without filth.

9“Who is it he is trying to teach? To whom is he explaining his message? To children weaned from their milk, to those just taken from the breast?

10For it is: Do this, do that, a rule for this, a rule for that Hebrew / sav lasav sav lasav / kav lakav kav lakav (probably meaningless sounds mimicking the prophet’s words); also in verse 13 ; a little here, a little there.”

11Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues God will speak to this people,

12to whom he said, “This is the resting place, let the weary rest”; and, “This is the place of repose”— but they would not listen.

13So 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— so that as they go they will fall backward; they will be injured and snared and captured.
