Isaiah 28:9

The retort of the revellers to Isaiah's recriminations. The meaning is: "Who are we that we should thus be lectured by this man? Are we newly-weaned infants, &c.?" (cf. R.V.). Whom will he teach knowledge?expresses the injured self-consciousness of the priests; whom will he make to understand doctrine?that of the prophets. For doctrineR.V. has the message; the word commonly means "report," but here it denotes "that which is heard" (by prophetic audition) from the Lord, as in Isaiah 28:19; ch. Isaiah 53:1; Jeremiah 49:14; Obadiah 1:1.
