Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues God will speak to this people,
to whom he said,“This is the resting place, let the weary rest”; and,“This is the place of repose", but they would not listen.
So then, the word of the Lord to them will become:
Do this, do that,
a rule for this, a rule for that;
a little here, a little there—
so that as they go they will fall backward;
they will be injured and snared and captured.
