Context of Isaiah 30:9
7For Egypt helpeth in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I called her Rahab that sitteth still. 8Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever. For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Jehovah; 10that say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits, 11get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
