Hi Vincent-

I actually think Isaiah is mocking with the phrase here- uttering nonsense because Judah is being senseless. So, if they won't accept his sensible word from Yahweh perhaps they will accept some senseless muttering. I think the context too bears this out- and some of the commentators too go in this direction (as you have noted). Others will doubtless disagree.

Best

Jim
