Isaiah 28:13
But the word of the LORD was unto 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.
KJV
Et erit eis verbum Domini : Manda, remanda ; manda, remanda ; exspecta, reexspecta ; exspecta, reexspecta ; modicum ibi, modicum ibi ; ut vadant, et cadant retrorsum, et conterantur, et illaqueentur, et capiantur.
Vulgate
καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῖς τὸ λόγιον Κυρίου θλίψις ἐπὶ θλίψιν, ἐλπὶς ἐπὶ ἐλπίδι, ἔτι μικρὸν ἔτι μικρόν, ἵνα πορεύσωσιν καὶ πέσωσιν ὀπίσω, καὶ συντριβήσονται καὶ κινδυνεύσουσιυ καὶ ἁλώσονται.
LXX
Therefore shall the word of Jehovah be unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
