Isaiah 28:12

"But he will speak to this nation with stammering lips and in another language,"

Key Reflection

In Isaiah 28:12, the Lord declares that He will teach the rebellious people of Israel through a foreign tongue, using unintelligible speech to convey His message. This method of communication was seen as humiliating and designed to underscore the severity of God’s judgment, highlighting the stubbornness of those who refused to heed His words in more familiar forms.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

To whom he said -To whom God had said; that is, to the Jews. He had taught them the way of rest through the prophets, but they had refused to learn. This is the rest -That is, this is the true way of happiness, to wit, by keeping the commands of God which had been so often repeated as to become to them objects of satiety and disgust. This is the refreshing -This is the way in which the mind may be comforted.
