Isaiah28:11

11. For with stammering lips , and another tongue will he speak to this people .

Or, therefore, as this Particle is oft used. For this seems to be the punishment of their dulness.

Either 1. in way of condescention, as Mothers or Nurses teach Children, lisping and stammering with them. Or, 2. in way of judgment; which suits best with the next Clause.

By people of a strange Language, whom He shall bring among them, and into whose power He shall deliver them; which is a great aggravation of their Misery, see Deut. 28. 49. Ier. 5. 15. Ezek. 3. 5.

Seeing they will not hear Him speaking, by His Prophets and Ministers, in their own Language, they shall hear their Enemies speaking to them in a strange and rough Language.

Marginal references: Heb. stammerings of lips.; 1 Cor. 14. 21.; Or, he hath spoken.
