Isaiah 28:10 Context
8For all tables are full of vomite and filthinesse, so that there is no place cleane. 9¶ Whome shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to vnderstand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milke, and drawen from the breasts. 10For precept must be vpon precept, precept vpon precept, line vpon line, line vpon line, here a litle, and there a litle. 11For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speake to this people. 12To whom he said, This is the rest wherwith ye may cause the weary to rest, and this is the refreshing, yet they would not heare.
