11. So the Lord will use strange words and foreign languagesto speak to these people.
12. God said to them,“Here is a place of rest;let the tired people come and rest.This is the place of peace.”But the people would not listen.
13. So the words of the Lord will be,“A command here, a command there.A rule here, a rule there.A little lesson here, a little lesson there.”They will fall back and be defeated;they will be trapped and captured.
14. So listen to the Lord’s message, you who brag,you leaders in Jerusalem.
15. You say, “We have made an agreement with death;we have a contract with death.When terrible punishment passes by,it won’t hurt us.Our lies will keep us safe,and our tricks will hide us.”
