Isaiah 28:13
_ _ But — rather, “Therefore,” namely, because “they would not hear” (Isaiah 28:12).
_ _ that they might go — the designed result to those who, from a defect of the will, so far from profiting by God’s mode of instructing, “precept upon precept,” etc., made it into a stumbling-block (Hosea 6:5; Hosea 8:12; Matthew 13:14).
_ _ go, and fall — image appropriately from “drunkards” (Isaiah 28:7, Isaiah 28:8, which they were) who in trying to “go forward fall backward.” |
Isaiah 28:13
Here a little — As this method has been used and was altogether necessary for them; so it still is, and for the future shall be. As they were children in understanding, they shall still continue to be such; they shall be ever learning, and never come to the knowledge of the truth. That — This will be the event, or consequence of their sin: they will fall backward, which is the worst, and most dangerous way of falling; and so be broken to pieces. |
Isaiah 28:13
But the word of the (o) LORD was to 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.
(o) Because they will not receive the word of God, when it is offered, it comes of their own malice, if after their hearts are so hardened, that they care not for it, as before, (Isaiah 6:9). |
