Isaiah 30:8-16

8GoH935 nowH6258, writeH3789 it onH5921 a tabletH3871 in their presenceH854 and inscribeH2710 it onH5921 a scrollH5612; it will beH1961 for the daysH3117 to comeH314, a witnessH5703 foreverH5704 and everH5769.9 TheseH1931 are rebelliousH4805 peopleH5971, deceitfulH3586 childrenH1121, childrenH1121 unwillingH3808 H14 to obeyH8085 the LORD’sH3068 instructionH8451.10TheyH834 sayH559 to the seersH7203, “StopH3808 seeing visionsH7200!” and to the prophetsH2374, “Do notH3808 prophesyH2372 to us the truthH5229! SpeakH1696 to us pleasant wordsH2513; prophesyH2372 illusionsH4123.11Get outH5493 ofH4480 the wayH1870; turn offH5186 H4480 the roadH734. Rid usH7673 ofH6440 the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478!”

12ThereforeH3651 this is whatH3541 the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478 saysH559:

“BecauseH3282 you have rejectedH3988 thisH2088 messageH1697,trustingH982 in oppressionH6233 and relyingH8172 on deceitH3868 ,13 thisH2088 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 fragmentH3808 H2550 can be foundH3808.Not a shardH2789 will be foundH4672 in the dustH4386large enough to scoopH2846 the coalsH784 from a hearthH3344or to skimH2834 the waterH4325 from a cisternH1360.”

15ForH3588 H3541 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 sayH559 H3588, “we will fleeH5127 onH5921 horsesH5483.”ThereforeH5921 H3651 you will fleeH5127!“We will rideH7392 H5921 H3651 swift horsesH7031,”but your pursuersH7291 will be fasterH7043.
