7And even these reel with wine and stagger from strong drink: priest and prophet reel with strong drink, they are swallowed up by wine, they stagger from strong drink; they reel in vision, they totter in judgment.

8For all the tables are full of vomit and filth, with no place left.

9Whom will he teach knowledge, and to whom will he explain the message? Those weaned from milk, those taken from the breasts?

10For it is, “Command on command, command on command, line on line, line on line, a little here, a little there.”

11For with mocking lips and with another tongue he will speak to this people,

12to whom he said, “This is rest; give rest to the weary, and this is repose,” yet they were not willing to hear.

13So the word of Yahweh will be to them, “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line, a little here, a little there,” so that they may go, and stumble backward, and be broken, and snared, and captured.
