Isaiah 28:7-10

Judgment on Ephraim and Jerusalem

7 h These also reel with wine
and i stagger with strong drink;
the priest and j the prophet reel with strong drink,
they are swallowed by 1 wine,
they stagger with strong drink,
they reel in vision,
they stumble in giving judgment.
 8 For all tables are full of filthy vomit,
with no space left.

9 k "To whom will he teach knowledge,
and to whom will he explain the message?
Those who are weaned from the milk,
those taken from the breast?
 10 For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
line upon line, line upon line,
here a little, there a little."
