Isaiah 28:7–13

7  But they also ohave erred through wine, and pthrough strong drink are out of the way;

qThe priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink,

They are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink;

They err in vision, they stumble in rjudgment.

8  For sall tables are full of vomit and filthiness,

So that there is no place clean.

9  tWhom shall he teach knowledge?

And whom shall he make to understand †doctrine?

uThem that are weaned from the milk,

And drawn from the breasts.

10  For precept ||must be upon precept, precept upon precept;

vLine upon line, line upon line;

Here a little, and there a little:

11  For wwith †xstammering lips and another tongue

||Will he speak to this people.

12  To whom he said,

yThis is the rest wherewith ye may cause zthe weary to rest;

And this is athe refreshing: wyet they would not hear.

13  But the word of the Lord was unto them

bPrecept upon precept, precept upon precept;

bLine upon line, line upon line;

Here a little, and there a little;

That they might go, and cfall backward, and cbe broken,

And csnared, and ctaken.
