Isaiah 28:12-14
Contemporary English Version
12 He promised you
perfect peace and rest,
but you refused to listen.
13 Now his message to you
will be senseless sound
after senseless sound.[a]
Then you will fall backwards,
injured and trapped.
False Security Is Fatal
14 You rulers of Jerusalem
do nothing but sneer;
now you must listen
to what the Lord says.

Isaiah 28:12-14
New International Version
12 to whom he said,
“This is the resting place, let the weary rest”;(A)
and, “This is the place of repose”—
but they would not listen.
13 So then, the word of the Lord to them will become:
Do this, do that,
a rule for this, a rule for that;
a little here, a little there(B)—
so that as they go they will fall backward;
they will be injured(C) and snared and captured.(D)
