Isaiah 30:8-16

8Go now, write it on a tablet in their presence and inscribe it on a scroll; it will be for the days to come, a witness forever and ever.9These are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to obey the LORD’s instruction.10They say to the seers, “Stop seeing visions!” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us the truth! Speak to us pleasant words; prophesy illusions.11Get out of the way; turn off the road. Rid us of the Holy One of Israel!”

12Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says:

“Because you have rejected this message,trusting in oppression and relying on deceit,13this iniquity of yours is like a breach about to fail,a bulge in a high wall,whose collapse will come suddenly—in an instant!14It will break in pieces like a potter’s jar,shattered so that no fragment can be found.Not a shard will be found in the dustlarge enough to scoop the coals from a hearthor to skim the water from a cistern.”

15For the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said:

“By repentance and restyou would be saved;your strength would lie in quiet confidence—but you were not willing.”
16“No,” you say, “we will flee on horses.”Therefore you will flee!“We will ride swift horses,”but your pursuers will be faster.
