Isa 28:9-13, 53:1, Jer 5:4-5 | ESV | STEP | To whom will he teach knowledge , and to whom will he explain the message ? Those who are weaned from the milk , those taken from the breast ?

Isaiah 28:9-13

9 ^a“To whom will he teach knowledge,
and to whom will he explain the message?
Those who are weaned from the milk,
those taken from the breast?
10 For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
line upon line, line upon line,
here a little, there a little.”
11 ^bFor by people of strange lips
and with a foreign tongue
the Lord will speak to this people,
12 to whom he has said,
^c“This is rest;
give rest to the weary;
and this is repose”;
yet they would not hear.
13 And the word of the Lord will be to them
precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
line upon line, line upon line,
here a little, there a little,
^dthat they may go, and fall backward,
and be broken, and snared, and taken.

Isaiah 53:1

1 ^eWho has believed what he has heard from us? ^{▼▼Or Who has believed what we have heard?}
And to whom has ^gthe arm of the Lord been revealed?

Jeremiah 5:4-5

4 Then I said, “These are only the poor;
they have no sense;
^hfor they do not know the way of the Lord,
the justice of their God.
5 I will go to the great
and will speak to them,
for they know the way of the Lord,
the justice of their God.”
ⁱBut they all alike had broken the yoke;
they had burst the bonds.
