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.
