Did

 

the piece on Knowledge and when this came up I was like whoa...

Gonna have to go back and review that one :-)

Isa. 28:9-10

"Whom shall he teach knowledge? 

and whom shall he make to stand doctrine? 

Them that are weaned from the milk, 

and drawn from the breast. 

For precept must be upon precept, 

precept upon precept; 

line upon line, 

line upon line; 

here a little, and there a little.'

So?

Go to the Footnotes of the NABRE and it says...

Isa. 28:9-10

The words of those who ridicule Isaiah. 

(You can just tell in the tone of the text the attitude in which it is said...)

The Hebrew of v. 10, by its very sound, 

conveys the idea of mocking imitation 

of what the prophet says, 

as though he spoke like a stammering child: 

“sau lasau, sau lasau, kau lakau, kau lakau, ze’er sham, ze’er sham.” 

But in v.13 

God repeats these words in deadly earnest, 

putting them in the mouth of the victorious Assyrian army.

Isaiah 28:13

So for them the word of the Lord shall be:

    “Command on command, command on command,

Rule on rule, rule on rule,

    here a little, there a little!”

So that when they walk, 

they shall stumble backward,

    broken, ensnared, and captured.

Yup...
