Therefore shall the word of Jehovah be unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

For this cause the word of the Lord will be to them rule after rule, line after line, here a little, there a little; so that they may go on their way, and falling back may be broken, and taken in the net.

Και ο λογος του Κυριου θελει εισθαι προς αυτους διδασκαλια επι διδασκαλιαν, διδασκαλια επι διδασκαλιαν, στιχος επι στιχον, στιχος επι στιχον, ολιγον εδω, ολιγον εκει· δια να περιπατησωσι και να προσκοπτωσιν εις τα οπισω και να συντριφθωσι και να παγιδευθωσι και να πιασθωσι.

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.
