Isaiah 28:9-13

9 "To whom would He teach knowledge, And to whom would He interpret the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just taken from the breast?

10 "For He says, '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 stammering lips and a foreign tongue,

12 He who said to them, "Here is rest, give rest to the weary," And, "Here is repose," but they would not listen.

13 So the word of the LORD to them will be, "Order on order, order on order, Line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there," That they may go and stumble backward, be broken, snared and taken captive.

Isaiah 33:10-19

10 "Now I will arise," says the LORD , "Now I will be exalted, now I will be lifted up.

11 "You have conceived chaff, you will give birth to stubble; My breath will consume you like a fire.

12 "The peoples will be burned to lime, Like cut thorns which are burned in the fire.

13 "You who are far away, hear what I have done; And you who are near, acknowledge My might."

14 Sinners in Zion are terrified; Trembling has seized the godless. "Who among us can live with the consuming fire? Who among us can live with continual burning?"

15 He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity, He who rejects unjust gain And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe; He who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed And shuts his eyes from looking upon evil;

16 He will dwell on the heights, His refuge will be the impregnable rock; His bread will be given him, His water will be sure.

17 Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; They will behold a far-distant land.

18 Your heart will meditate on terror: "Where is he who counts? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?"

19 You will no longer see a fierce people, A people of unintelligible speech which no one comprehends, Of a stammering tongue which no one understands.

1 Corinthians 14:20-21

20 Brethren, do not be children in your thinking; yet in evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature.

21 In the Law it is written, "BY MEN OF STRANGE TONGUES AND BY THE LIPS OF STRANGERS I WILL SPEAK TO THIS PEOPLE, AND EVEN SO THEY WILL NOT LISTEN TO ME," says the Lord .
