Tables Full of Vomit-The Learning of Men

Isaiah spares no words when indicting God's people, particularly their leaders. When he says of Ephraim's priests and prophets, "All tables are full of vomit; no spot is without excrement" (Isaiah 28:8), the meaning is figurative. The context of the entire chapter relates to Ephraim's self-deception, its reluctance to receive direct revelation from God, instead relying solely on the basic learning method of "line upon line, precept upon precept" (Isaiah 28:10). Half-digested truths are regurgitated for God's people to swallow, so much that God has to intervene and restore his word, but not until that state of affairs has provoked God's judgments (Isaiah 28:11-22).

When Sabbath meetings, fast days, and temple attendance become mere routine (Isaiah 1:10-15; 58:1-3), when people's piety toward God "consists of commandments of men learned by rote" while their hearts remain far from him (Isaiah 29:13), when his people and their prophets and seers fall into a deep sleep (Isaiah 29:10), God intervenes both for good and for evil. For good, when he "lay[s] in Zion a stone, a keystone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation" (Isaiah 28:16). For good, when he brings forth "the words of the book" (Isaiah 29:18). For evil, when he brings "a flooding scourge" upon those who mock at how God intervenes (Isaiah 28:14-22).
