Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
rash--rather, "the hasty"; contrast "shall not make haste" (Isaiah 28:16); the reckless who will not take time to weigh religious truth aright. Or else, the well-instructed [HORSLEY].
stammers--those who speak confusedly on divine things (compare Exodus 4:10-12; Jeremiah 1:6; Matthew 10:19-20). Or, rather, those drunken scorners who in stammering style imitated Isaiah's warnings to mock them [MAURER] (Isaiah 28:7-11, Isaiah 28:13-14, Isaiah 28:22; Isaiah 29:20); in this view, translate, "speak uprightly" (agreeably to the divine law); not as English Version, referring to the distinctness of articulation, "plainly."
