Isaiah 30:13-25

13thereforeH3651 this iniquityH5771 shall beH1961 to you as a breachH6556 ready to fallH5307, swelling out in a highH7682 wallH2346, whose breaking cometh suddenlyH6597 in an instantH6621. 14And he shall breakH7665 it as a potter’sH3335 vessel is brokenH7665, breakingH7665 it in pieces without sparingH2550; so that there shall not be foundH4672 among the pieces thereof a sherd wherewith to take fireH784 from the hearth, or to dip up waterH4325 out of the cistern.

15For thusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 Jehovah, the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, In returning and rest shall ye beH1961 savedH3467; in quietnessH8252 and in confidence shall beH1961 your strengthH1369. And ye wouldH14 not: 16but ye saidH559, No, for we will fleeH5127 upon horsesH5483; thereforeH3651 shall ye fleeH5127: and, We will rideH7392 upon the swiftH7031; thereforeH3651 shall they that pursueH7291 you be swiftH7031. 17OneH259 thousandH505 shall fleeH5127 at the threatH1606 of oneH259; at the threatH1606 of fiveH2568 shall ye fleeH5127: till ye be leftH3498 as a beacon upon the topH7218 of a mountainH2022, and as an ensign on a hillH2022.

18And thereforeH3651 will Jehovah waitH2442, that he may be gracious unto you; and thereforeH3651 will he be exaltedH7311, that he may have mercyH7355 upon you: for Jehovah is a GodH430 of justiceH4941; blessed are all they that waitH2442 for him. 19For the peopleH5971 shall dwellH3427 in ZionH6726 at JerusalemH3389; thou shalt weepH1058 no more; he will surely be gracious unto thee at the voiceH6963 of thy cryH2201; when he shall hearH8085, he will answerH6030 thee. 20And though the LordH136 giveH5414 you the breadH3899 of adversity and the waterH4325 of affliction, yetH5750 shall not thy teachers beH1961 hidden anymore, but thine eyesH5869 shall seeH7200 thy teachers; 21and thine earsH241 shall hearH8085 a wordH1697 behind thee, sayingH559, This is the wayH1870, walk ye in it; when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. 22And ye shall defileH2930 the overlayingH6826 of thy graven images of silverH3701, and the plating of thy molten images of goldH2091: thou shalt cast them away as an uncleanH2930 thing; thou shalt sayH559 unto it, Get thee hence.

23And he will giveH5414 the rainH4306 for thy seedH2233, wherewith thou shalt sowH2232 the groundH127; and breadH3899 of the increase of the groundH127, and it shall beH1961 fat and plenteous. In that dayH3117 shall thy cattle feedH7462 in largeH7337 pastures; 24the oxen likewise and the young asses that till the groundH127 shall eatH398 savory provender, which hath been winnowedH2219 with the shovel and with the fork. 25And there shall beH1961 upon every lofty mountainH2022, and upon every highH1364 hillH2022, brooks and streamsH6388 of watersH4325, in the dayH3117 of the greatH7227 slaughterH2027, when the towersH4026 fallH5307.
