 The prophet goes on to show that, though God might condescend to deal in this simple way with the mass of the people, even using “stammering lips and another tongue,” yet they refuse to hear and are broken. The Apostle Paul refers to this passage in 1 Corinthians 14:21-22, to show that tongues are a sign to unbelievers rather than believers. (Isaiah 28 by F.B. Hole)
