Those who are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?For it is precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little.But he will speak to this nation with stammering lips and in another language,to whom he said,“ This is the resting place. Give rest to weary,” and“ This is the refreshing;” yet they would not hear.Therefore Yahweh’s word will be to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, fall backward, be broken, be snared, and be taken.

I have become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some.Now I do this for the sake of the Good News, that I may be a joint partaker of it.
