Isaiah 28:11

Verse 11 of 29. The 28th of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.

7They also reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink. The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink. They are swallowed up by wine. They stagger with strong drink. They err in vision. They stumble in judgment.

8For all tables are completely full of filthy vomit and filthiness.

9Whom will he teach knowledge? To whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?

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

11But he will speak to this nation with stammering lips and in another language,

12to whom he said, “This is the resting place. Give rest to the weary,” and “This is the refreshing;” yet they would not hear.

13Therefore the LORD’s word will be to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, fall backward, be broken, be snared, and be taken.

14Therefore hear the LORD’s word, you scoffers, that rule this people in Jerusalem:

15“Because you have said, ‘We have made a covenant with death, and we are in agreement with Sheol. When the overflowing scourge passes through, it won’t come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under falsehood.’”
