Every table is covered with vomit.
    There is not a clean place anywhere.

The Lord is trying to teach the people a lesson.
    He is trying to make them understand his teachings.
But the people are like little babies.
    They are like babies who just nursed at their mother’s breast.

    “A command here, a command there.
    A rule here, a rule there.
    A lesson here, a lesson there.”

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