Isaiah 28:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹The Lord’s people are making fun of him. They say,
    “Who does he think he’s trying to teach?
    Who does he think he’s explaining his message to?
Is it to children who do not need their mother’s milk anymore?
    Is it to those who have just been taken from her breast?
¹⁰Here is how he teaches.
    Do this and do that.
There is a rule for this and a rule for that.
    Learn a little here and learn a little there.”

¹¹All right then, these people won’t listen to me.
So God will speak to them.
He will speak by using people who speak unfamiliar languages.
He will speak by using the mouths of strangers.
