Isaiah 28:10

10 He tells us everything over and over— one line at a time, one line at a time, a little here, and a little there!”

Isaiah 28:10 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 28:10

For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept,
&c.] Signifying, that they must be dealt with as children were, when first instructed in the rudiments of a language, first had one rule given them, and then another, and so one after another till they had gone through the whole: line upon line, line upon line;
who are taught first to write one line, and then another; or to draw one line, and write after that, and then another; or where to begin one line, and, when finished, where to begin another; for the allusion is to writing by line, and not to a line used in building, as Kimchi and Ben Melech think: here a little, [and] there a little;
a small lesson out of one book, and a small lesson out of another; a little one day, and a little on the next, and so on, that their memories may not be overburdened.

Isaiah 28:10 In-Context

8 Their tables are covered with vomit; filth is everywhere.

9 “Who does the LORD think we are?” they ask. “Why does he speak to us like this? Are we little children, just recently weaned?

10 He tells us everything over and over— one line at a time, one line at a time, a little here, and a little there!”

11 So now God will have to speak to his people through foreign oppressors who speak a strange language!

12 God has told his people, “Here is a place of rest; let the weary rest here. This is a place of quiet rest.” But they would not listen.
