Isaiah 28:10 in Context — Isaiah 28

8 Toutes les tables sont pleines de vomissements, d’ordures; Il n’y a plus de place.

9 A qui veut-on enseigner la sagesse? A qui veut-on donner des leçons? Est-ce à des enfants qui viennent d’être sevrés, Qui viennent de quitter la mamelle?

10 Car c’est précepte sur précepte, précepte sur précepte, Règle sur règle, règle sur règle, Un peu ici, un peu là.

11 Hé bien! C’est par des hommes aux lèvres balbutiantes Et au langage barbare Que l’Éternel parlera à ce peuple.

12 Il lui disait: Voici le repos, Laissez reposer celui qui est fatigué; Voici le lieu du repos! Mais ils n’ont point voulu écouter.
