4:22 The Lord answered,
“This will happen
They do not know me.
They are like children who have no sense.
They have no understanding.
They are skilled at doing evil.
They do not know how to do good.”
7:8 “‘But just look at you!

the one who formed them has no mercy on them.

To whom is he explaining a message?
Those just weaned from milk!
Those just taken from their mother’s breast!

28:11 For with mocking lips and a foreign tongue

28:12 In the past he said to them,
“This is where security can be found.
Provide security for the one who is exhausted!
This is where rest can be found.”

28:13 So the Lord’s word to them will sound like
meaningless gibberish,
senseless babbling,
a syllable here, a syllable there.

and be injured, ensnared, and captured.
4:6 You have destroyed
by failing to acknowledge me!
Because you refuse to acknowledge me,
I will reject you as my priests.
Because you reject
I will reject
