| 10 | For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: | For they hear: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there.” | For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little. |
