Isaiah 28:13
Berean Standard Bible
Then the word of the LORD to them will become: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there,” so that they will go stumbling backward and will be injured, ensnared, and captured.
Context
11Indeed, with mocking lips and foreign tongues,
He will speak to this people * 12to whom He has said:
“This is the place of rest, let the weary rest;
this is the place of repose.”
But they would not listen. 13Then the word of the LORD to them will become:
“Order on order, order on order,
line on line, line on line;
a little here, a little there,”
so that they will go stumbling backward
and will be injured, ensnared, and captured. 14Therefore hear the word of the LORD, O scoffers
who rule this people in Jerusalem. 15For you said, “We have made a covenant with death;
we have fashioned an agreement with Sheol.
When the overwhelming scourge passes through
it will not touch us,
because we have made lies our refuge
and falsehood * our hiding place.”
