10 For it is:

Do this, do that,

a rule for this, a rule for that;

a little here, a little there.”

10 For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept,

line upon line, line upon line,

here a little, there a little.”

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

Line upon line, line upon line;

Here a little, and there a little:

10 He tells us everything over and over—

one line at a time,

one line at a time,

a little here,

and a little there!”

10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept,

Line upon line, line upon line,

Here a little, there a little.”

10 So they make fun of the Lord’s prophet and say:

“A command here, a command there.

A rule here, a rule there.

A little lesson here, a little lesson there.”

10 For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little.

10 For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little. …

10 They speak utter nonsense.

10 For he says: “Law after law, law after law,

line after line, line after line,

a little here, a little there.”

10 For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept,

line upon line, line upon line,

here a little, there a little.”

10 Here is how he teaches.

Do this and do that.

Do that and do this.

Obey this rule and obey that rule.

Obey that rule and obey this rule.

Learn a little here and learn a little there.”

10 “For He says,

‘Order on order, order on order,

Line on line, line on line,

A little here, a little there.’ ”
