7And even these through wine have erred, And through strong drink have wandered, Priest and prophet erred through strong drink, They have been swallowed up of the wine, They wandered because of the strong drink, They have erred in seeing, They have stumbled judicially.
8For all tables have been full of vomit, Filth -- without place!
9By whom doth He teach knowledge? And by whom doth He cause to understand the report? The weaned from milk, the removed from breasts,
10For rule [is] on rule, rule on rule, line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there,
11For by scorned lip, and by another tongue, Doth He speak unto this people.
12Unto whom He hath said, `This [is] the rest, give ye rest to the weary, And this -- the refreshing:` And they have not been willing to hear,
13And to whom a word of Jehovah hath been, Rule on rule, rule on rule, line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there, So that they go and have stumbled backward, And been broken, and snared, and captured.
