>>I think that God must be teaching us a lesson.

Isa 28:8-13
8 All the tables are covered with vomitand there is not a spot without filth.
9 "Who is it he is trying to teach?To whom is he explaining his message?To children weaned from their milk,to those just taken from the breast?

10 For it is:Do and do, do and do,rule on rule, rule on rule;a little here, a little there."

11 Very well then, with foreign lips and strange tonguesGod will speak to this people,

12 to whom he said,"This is the resting place, let the weary rest";and, "This is the place of repose" — but they would not listen.

13 So then, the word of the Lord to them will become:Do and do, do and do,rule on rule, rule on rule;a little here, a little there —

so that they will go and fall backward,be injured and snared and captured.

8. Whom shall one teach knowledge? And whom shall one make to understand the message? Them that are weaned from the milk, them that are drawn from the breasts?

9. For it is precept by precept, precept by precept, line by line, line by line; here a little, there a little.

11. For with stammering lips and with a strange tongue shall it be spoken to this people;

12. To whom it was said: ‘This is the rest, give ye rest to the weary; and this is the refreshing’; yet they would not hear.

13. And so the word of the LORD is unto them precept by precept, precept by precept, line by line, line by line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

The way I read this there is also a suggestion of a farmer planting a precious seed each in its own carefully dug hole, in the row .. This is not a easy verse.

Verse numbering typo. Verse 8 is not properly part of the section.

9. Whom shall one teach knowledge? And whom shall one make to understand the message? Them that are weaned from the milk, them that are drawn from the breasts?

10. For it is precept by precept, precept by precept, line by line, line by line; here a little, there a little.
