I am of the belief that Paul is not using that verse in Is. 28 himself.
Rather I Corinthians 14 is one of the most difficult chapters to interpret because I believe he is quoting from the letter of the church addressed to him and then he rebuts their points made in the letter (see I Cor. 7:1).
And one of the points being made in favor of tongues being broadcast freely in the church of Corinthians is them citing Is. 28.

That is a classic case of arguing from silence, though.
