Isaiah 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
Hebrews 5:12-5:14 12.

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
