Isaiah 28:11-13

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹¹ Truly, with stammering lip
    and with alien tongue
he will speak to this people,
¹²     to whom he has said,
‘This is rest;
    give rest to the weary;
and this is repose’;
    yet they would not hear.
¹³ Therefore the word of the Lord will be to them,
    ‘Precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
    line upon line, line upon line,
    here a little, there a little’;^[a]
in order that they may go, and fall backwards,
    and be broken, and snared, and taken.
