28:10 Indeed, they will hear meaningless gibberish,
senseless babbling,
a syllable here, a syllable there. 1
28:11 For with mocking lips and a foreign tongue
he will speak to these people. 2
28:12 In the past he said to them, 3
“This is where security can be found.
Provide security for the one who is exhausted!
This is where rest can be found.” 4
But they refused to listen.
28:13 So the Lord’s word to them will sound like
meaningless gibberish,
senseless babbling,
a syllable here, a syllable there. 5
As a result, they will fall on their backsides when they try to walk, 6
and be injured, ensnared, and captured. 7
