Isaiah 28:7-13 ▼

7 These also stagger because of wine and stumble under the influence of beer: priest and prophet stagger because of beer, they are confused by wine. They stumble because of beer, they are muddled in their visions, they stumble in their judgments.

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?

10 For he says: “Law after law, law after law, line after line, line after line, a little here, a little there.”

11 So He will speak to this people with stammering speech and in a foreign language.

12 He had said to them:” This is the place of rest, let the weary rest; this is the place of repose.” But they would not listen.

13 Then the word of the LORD came to them:” Law after law, law after law, line after line, line after line, a little here, a little there,” so they go stumbling backward, to be broken, trapped, and captured.
