Jesaja 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.

Jesaja 28:10 In-Context

8 Denn alle Tische sind voll Speiens und Unflats an allen Orten.
9 "Wen, sagen sie, will er denn lehren Erkenntnis? wem will er zu verstehen geben die Predigt? Den Entwöhnten von der Milch, denen, die von Brüsten abgesetzt sind?
10 Gebeut hin, gebeut her; tue dies, tue das; harre hier, harre da; warte hier, warte da; hier ein wenig, da ein wenig!"
11 Wohlan, er wird einmal mit unverständlichen Lippen und mit einer andern Zunge reden zu diesem Volk, welchem jetzt dies gepredigt wird:
12 "So hat man Ruhe, so erquickt man die Müden, so wird man still"; und sie wollen doch solche Predigt nicht.
