Isaiah 28:13 in Context — Isaiah 28

11 Pois por lábios estranhos e por língua estrangeira se falará a este povo;

12 Ao qual dissera: Este é o [lugar de] descanso; dai descanso ao cansado; e este é o repouso; porém não quiseram ouvir.

13 Assim, pois, a palavra do SENHOR lhes será mandamento sobre mandamento, mandamento sobre mandamento, regra sobre regra, regra sobre regra; um pouco aqui, um pouco ali; para que vão, e caiam para trás, e se quebrem, e sejam enlaçados e capturados.

14 Portanto ouvi a palavra do SENHOR, vós homens escarnecedores, dominadores deste povo, que está em Jerusalém;

15 Pois dizeis: Fizemos um pacto com a morte, e com o Xeol fizemos um acordo: quando passar a abundância de açoites, não chegará a nós; pois pusemos a mentira como nosso refúgio, e sob a falsidade nos escondemos.
