What are the issues with Isaiah 28.10

[Mudhammam]

Here's how other translations work out the passage:

"For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:" (the KJV of the OP)

"He tells us everything over and over again, a line at a time and in such simple words!” (TLB)

"For it is:
Do this, do that,
a rule for this, a rule for that[a];
a little here, a little there.” (NIV)

“For He says,
‘[i]Order on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there.’” (NASB)

It reads to me as though unintelligible babble is intentional; the question is, "Who can understand the speech [of Isaiah]?"

Judging by the way subsequent readers treated this book, the answer appears to be: no one.

Common sense replies: whatever Huggy thinks it says, it probably doesn't.

I couldn't have explained any simpler.

Mark 4
10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

The question was about Isaiah, not Mark.
