Isaiah 30:8-16

8NowH6258 goH935, writeH3789 it before them on a tabletH3871, and inscribeH2710 it in a bookH5612, that it may beH1961 for the time to comeH935 for everH5769 and everH5769. 9For it is a rebelliousH4805 peopleH5971, lying children, children that will not hearH8085 the lawH8451 of Jehovah; 10that sayH559 to the seersH2374, SeeH7200 not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speakH1696 unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits, 11get you out of the wayH1870, turnH5493 asideH5493 out of the pathH734, cause the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 to ceaseH7673 from before us. 12Wherefore thusH3541 saith the HolyH6918 OneH2088 of IsraelH3478, Because ye despise this wordH1697, and trustH982 in oppressionH6233 and perverseness, and relyH982 thereon; 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.
