Isaiah 30:13-25

13thisH2088 iniquityH5771 of yoursH1961 is like a breachH6556 about to failH5307, a bulgeH1158 in a highH7682 wallH2346, whose collapseH7667 will comeH935 suddenlyH6597— in an instantH6621!14It will breakH7665 in piecesH7667 like a potter’sH3335 jarH5035, shatteredH3807 so that no fragmentH3808H2550 can be foundH3808. Not a shardH2789 will be foundH4672 in the dustH4386 large enough to scoopH2846 the coalsH784 from a hearthH3344 or to skimH2834 the waterH4325 from a cisternH1360.”

15ForH3588H3541 the LordH136 GODH3069, the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478, has saidH559:

“By repentanceH7729 and restH5183you would be savedH3467;your strengthH1369 would lieH1961 in quietH8252 confidenceH985—but you were notH3808 willingH14.”
16“NoH3808,” you sayH559H3588, “we will fleeH5127 onH5921 horsesH5483.”ThereforeH5921H3651 you will fleeH5127!“We will rideH7392H5921H3651 swift horsesH7031,”but your pursuersH7291 will be fasterH7043.17AH259 thousandH505 will flee atH6440 the threatH1606 of oneH259;atH6440 the threatH1606 of fiveH2568 you will all fleeH5127,untilH5704H518 you are left aloneH3498 like a poleH8650 onH5921 a mountaintopH7218H2022,like a bannerH5251 onH5921 a hillH1389.
18ThereforeH3651 the LORDH3068 longsH2442 to be gracious to youH2603;thereforeH3651 He risesH7311 to show you compassionH7355,forH3588 the LORDH3068 is a justH4941 GodH430.Blessed areH835 allH3605 who waitH2442 for Him.

O peopleH5971 in ZionH6726 who dwellH3427 in JerusalemH3389, you will weepH1058 noH3808 moreH1058. He will surely be graciousH2603 when you cry for helpH6963H2199; when He hearsH8085, He will answer youH6030. 20The LordH136 will giveH5414 you the breadH3899 of adversityH6862 and the waterH4325 of afflictionH3906, but your TeacherH4175 will no longerH3808 hideH3670 HimselfH5750H1961—with your own eyesH5869 you will seeH7200 Him.

21And whetherH3588 you turn to the rightH541H3588 or to the leftH8041, your earsH241 will hearH8085 this commandH1697 behind youH310H559: “ThisH2088 is the wayH1870. WalkH1980 in it.” 22So you will desecrateH2930 your silver-platedH6826H3701 idolsH6456 and your gold-platedH642H2091 imagesH4541. You will throw them awayH2219 likeH3644 menstrual clothsH1739, sayingH559 to them, “Be goneH6627!”

23Then He will sendH5414 rainH4306 for the seedH2233 thatH834 you have sownH2232 in the groundH127, and the foodH3899 that comesH8393 from your landH127 will beH1961 richH1879 and plentifulH8082. On thatH1931 dayH3117 your cattleH4735 will grazeH7462 in openH7337 pasturesH3733. 24The oxenH504 and donkeysH5895 that workH5647 the groundH127 will eatH398 saltedH2548 fodderH1098, winnowedH2219 with shovelH7371 and pitchforkH4214.

25

And fromH5921 everyH3605 highH1364H5921 mountainH2022 and everyH3605 raisedH5375 hillH1389, streamsH6388 of waterH4325 will flowH2988 in the dayH3117 of greatH7227 slaughterH2027, when the towersH4026 fallH5307.
