10 But (A)these people disparage all the things that they do not understand; and (B)all the things that they know by instinct, (C)like unreasoning animals, by these things they are destroyed.

10 Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand, and the very things they do understand by instinct—as irrational animals do—will destroy them.(A)
Romans 2:12-15
New American Standard Bible
Romans 2:12-15
New American Standard Bible
12 For all who have sinned [a](A)without the Law will also perish [b]without the Law, and all who have sinned [c]under the Law will be judged [d]by the Law; 13 for it is (B)not the hearers [e]of the Law who are [f]righteous before God, but the doers [g]of the Law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles who do not have [h]the Law [i](C)instinctively perform the requirements of the Law, these, though not having [j]the Law, are a law to themselves, 15 in that they show (D)the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them,

Romans 2:12-15
New International Version
12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law(A) will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey(B) the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law,(C) they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.)

Isaiah 28:9-13
New American Standard Bible
9 “To (A)whom would He teach knowledge,
And to whom would He interpret the message?
Those just (B)weaned from milk?
Those just taken from the breast?
10 For He says,
‘[a](C)Order on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there.’”
11 Indeed, He will speak to this people
Through (D)stammering lips and a foreign tongue,
12 He who said to them, “This is the (E)place of quiet, give rest to the weary,”
And, “This is the resting place,” but they would not listen.
13 So the word of the Lord to them will be,
“[b]Order on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there,”
That they may go and (F)stumble backward, be broken, snared, and taken captive.

- Isaiah 28:10 Heb Sav lasav, sav lasav, Kav lakav, kav lakav, Zeer sham, zeer sham. These Hebrew fragments, imitating the babbling of a child, mock the prophet’s preaching.
- Isaiah 28:13 See note v 10. The Lord responds to their scoffing by imitating their mockery, to represent the unintelligible language of a conqueror.

Isaiah 28:9-13
New International Version
9 “Who is it he is trying to teach?(A)
To whom is he explaining his message?(B)
To children weaned(C) from their milk,(D)
to those just taken from the breast?
10 For it is:
Do this, do that,
a rule for this, a rule for that[a];
a little here, a little there.(E)”
11 Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tongues(F)
God will speak to this people,(G)
12 to whom he said,
“This is the resting place, let the weary rest”;(H)
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(I)—
so that as they go they will fall backward;
they will be injured(J) and snared and captured.(K)

Made Alive in Christ
2 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,(A) 2 in which you used to live(B) when you followed the ways of this world(C) and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air,(D) the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.(E) 3 All of us also lived among them at one time,(F) gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a](G) and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.

Genesis 4:3-8
New American Standard Bible
3 So it came about [a]in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to the Lord from the fruit of the ground. 4 (A)Abel, on his part also brought an offering, from the firstborn of his flock and from their fat portions. And (B)the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering; 5 but (C)for Cain and his offering He had no regard. So (D)Cain became very angry and his face [b]was gloomy. 6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “(E)Why are you angry? And why is your face [c]gloomy? 7 (F)If you do well, [d]will your face not be [e]cheerful? (G)And if you do not do well, sin is lurking at the door; and its desire is for you, (H)but you must master it.” 8 Cain [f]talked to his brother Abel; and it happened that when they were in the field Cain rose up against his brother Abel and (I)killed him.

3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering(A) to the Lord.(B) 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions(C) from some of the firstborn of his flock.(D) The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering,(E) 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.
6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry?(F) Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door;(G) it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.(H)”
8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.”[a] While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.(I)

New American Standard Bible
2 in which you (A)previously walked according to the [a]course of (B)this world, according to (C)the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in (D)the [b]sons of disobedience. 3 Among them [c]we too all (E)previously lived in (F)the lusts of our flesh, [d]indulging the desires of the flesh and of the [e]mind, and were (G)by nature (H)children of wrath, (I)just as the rest. 4 But God, being (J)rich in mercy, because of (K)His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were (L)dead [f]in our wrongdoings, made us alive together [g]with Christ ((M)by grace you have been saved), 6 and (N)raised us up with Him, and (O)seated us with Him in (P)the heavenly places in (Q)Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come He might show the [h]boundless (R)riches of His grace in (S)kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For (T)by grace you have been saved (U)through faith; and [i]this is not of yourselves, it is (V)the gift of God; 9 (W)not a result of works, so that (X)no one may boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, (Y)created in (Z)Christ Jesus for (AA)good works, which God (AB)prepared beforehand so that we would (AC)walk in them.
11 Therefore remember that (AD)previously (AE)you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “(AF)Uncircumcision” by the so-called “(AG)Circumcision” which is performed in the flesh by human hands— 12 remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, [j](AH)excluded from [k]the people of Israel, and strangers to (AI)the covenants of the promise, having (AJ)no hope and (AK)without God in the world.

Jew and Gentile Reconciled Through Christ
11 Therefore, remember that formerly(W) you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)(X)— 12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners(Y) to the covenants of the promise,(Z) without hope(AA) and without God in the world.
