Precept upon Precept?
This comes from Isaiah 28:10 KJV.
This scripture study teaching has never made sense to me when reading the scripture at hand in context. But beyond that, I don't believe that the word precept, which means commandment or law, can be interchanged with the word "scripture."
Using this scripture to condone "out of context" study is ironic because that's what you have to do to take it as a command, itself. It appears to me to be more of a prophecy.
Much of the New Testament quotes "Old Testament" Scriptures out of context to try to force relevance. It's already using this false doctrine about studying Scripture.
What is this Scripture really about?
It is only written this way in the translations from the Masoretic Text, written in 1008 AD. The Septuagint was originally written in Greek in 250 BC.
Isaiah 28:10 Brenton Septuagint Translation
Expect you affliction on affliction, hope upon hope: yet a little, and yet a little.
For context:
v. 1-3, 13 paraphrase Woe to the crown of pride;...they that are drunken without wine. Behold, the anger of the Lord is strong and severe, as descending hail where there is no shelter, violently descending; as a great body of water sweeping away the soil, he shall make rest for the land. The crown of pride, shall be beaten down with the hands and with the feet. Therefore, the oracle of God shall be to them affliction on affliction, hope on hope, yet a little and yet a little, that they may go and fall backward; and they shall be crushed and shall be in danger, and shall be taken.
The Oracle(meaning prophecy) of God will be affliction to them. They will go into captivity and be punished. It will not be permanent but just a little while. It isn't talking about studying the "Word of God." When a "word" from God came it was a declaration of what would come due to their obedience or disobedience as a nation.
This was a proclamation that they were NOT being obedient and therefore deserved punishment, i.e. affliction.
