Isaiah 28:7-13 ▼

7 Even these men stagger because of wine, they stumble around because of beer--priests and prophets stagger because of beer, they are confused because of wine, they stumble around because of beer; they stagger while seeing prophetic visions, they totter while making legal decisions.

8 Indeed, all the tables are covered with vomit; no place is untouched.

9 Who is the LORD trying to teach? To whom is he explaining a message? Those just weaned from milk! Those just taken from their mother's breast!

10 Indeed, they will hear meaningless gibberish, senseless babbling, a syllable here, a syllable there.

11 For with mocking lips and a foreign tongue he will speak to these people.

12 In the past he said to them, |This is where security can be found. Provide security for the one who is exhausted! This is where rest can be found.| But they refused to listen.

13 So the LORD's word to them will sound like meaningless gibberish, senseless babbling, a syllable here, a syllable there. As a result, they will fall on their backsides when they try to walk, and be injured, ensnared, and captured.
