Isaiah 28:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 28:7

5 In that day the Lord of hosts will be
For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty
To the remnant of His people,

6 For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,
And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

7 But they also ^ahave erred through wine,
And through intoxicating drink are out of the way;
^bThe priest and the prophet have erred through intoxicating drink,
They are swallowed up by wine,
They are out of the way through intoxicating drink;
They err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

8 For all tables are full of vomit and filth;
No place is clean.

9 “Whom^a will he teach knowledge?
And whom will he make to understand the message?
Those just weaned from milk?
Those just drawn from the breasts?

10 ^aFor precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept,
Line upon line, line upon line,
Here a little, there a little.”

11 For with ^astammering lips and another tongue
He will speak to this people,

12 To whom He said, “This is the ^arest with which
You may cause the weary to rest,”
And, “This is the refreshing”;
Yet they would not hear.

13 But the word of the Lord was to them,
“Precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
Line upon line, line upon line,
Here a little, there a little,”
That they might go and fall backward, and be broken
And snared and caught.

14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scornful men,
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
