Isaiah 28:8–9

8 All 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?

8 For all tables are full of filthy vomit,

with no space left.

9 “To whom will he teach knowledge,

and to whom will he explain the message?

Those who are weaned from the milk,

those taken from the breast?

8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness,

So that there is no place clean.

9 Whom shall he teach knowledge?

And whom shall he make to understand doctrine?

Them that are weaned from the milk,

And drawn from the breasts.

8 Their tables are covered with vomit;

filth is everywhere.

9 “Who does the Lord think we are?” they ask.

“Why does he speak to us like this?

Are we little children,

just recently weaned?

8 For all tables are full of vomit and filth;

No place is clean.

9 “Whom will he teach knowledge?

And whom will he make to understand the message?

Those just weaned from milk?

Those just drawn from the breasts?

8 Every table is covered with vomit,

so there is not a clean place anywhere.

9 The Lord is trying to teach the people a lesson;

he is trying to make them understand his teachings.

But the people are like babies too old for breast milk,

like those who no longer nurse at their mother’s breast.

8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.

9 Whom will he teach knowledge? and whom will he make to understand the message? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?

8 For all tables are full of filthy vomit, so that there is no more place.

9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand the report? Them that are weaned from the milk, withdrawn from the breasts?

8 All the tables are covered with vomit and excrement. 

There isn’t a clean place left. 

9 To whom will they make the message understood? 

To whom will they explain this message? 

To children just weaned from milk? 

To those just taken from their ⸤mother’s⸥ breasts? 

8 Indeed, all their tables are covered with vomit;

there is no place without a stench.

9 Who is he trying to teach?

Who is he trying to instruct?

Infants just weaned from milk?

Babies removed from the breast?

8 All tables are covered with filthy vomit;

no place is clean.

9 “Whom will he teach knowledge,

and to whom will he explain the message?

Those who are weaned from milk,

those taken from the breast?

8 for all the tables are full of disgusting vomit, with no place left.

9 To whom will he teach knowledge,

and to whom will he explain the message?

Those who are weaned from milk,

those taken from the breast?

8 They throw up. All of the tables are covered

with the mess they’ve made.

There isn’t one spot on the tables

that isn’t smelly and dirty.

9 My people are making fun of me. They say,

“Who does he think he’s trying to teach?

Who does he think he’s explaining his message to?

Is it to children who do not need their mother’s milk anymore?

Is it to those who have just been taken from her breast?

8 For all the tables are full of filthy vomit, without a single clean place.

9 “To whom would He teach knowledge,

And to whom would He interpret the message?

Those just weaned from milk?

Those just taken from the breast?
