THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET JEREMIAH
JEREMIAH CHAPTER 8 LINES 8 and 9
8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are
dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected
the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is
in them?
THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET ISAIAH.
ISAIAH CHAPTER 28:9-13
9 ¶ Whom shall he teach knowledge? and
whom shall he make to understand
doctrine? them that are weaned from the
milk, and drawn from the breasts.
10 For precept must be upon precept,
precept upon precept; line upon line, line
upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11 For with stammering lips and another
tongue will he speak to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest
wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest;
and this is the refreshing: yet they would
not hear.
13 But the word of the LORD was unto
them precept upon precept, precept upon
precept; line upon line, line upon line;
here a little, and there a little; that they
might go, and fall backward, and be
broken, and snared, and taken.
