9. The Lord is trying to teach the people a lesson.He is trying to make them understand his teachings.But the people are like little babies.They are like babies who just nursed at their mother’s breast.
10. So they make fun of the Lord’s prophet and say:“A command here, a command there.A rule here, a rule there.A lesson here, a lesson there.”
11. So the Lord will use strange words and foreign languagesto speak to these people.
12. God said to them,“Here is a place of rest.Let the tired people come and rest.This is the place of peace.”But the people would not listen.
13. So the words of the Lord will be,“A command here, a command there.A rule here, a rule there.A lesson here, a lesson there.”They will fall back and will be defeated.They will be trapped and captured.
