Isaiah 30

1WoeH1945 to the rebelliousH5637 children, saith Jehovah, who take counselH6098, but not of me, and who makeH6213 leagues, but not by my SpiritH7307, that they may heap sinH2403 upon sinH2403; 2who walkH1980 to goH1980 down into EgyptH4714, and have not askedH7592 of my mouthH6310, — to takeH2620 refugeH2620 under the protection of PharaohH6547, and trust in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714! 3For to you the protection of PharaohH6547 shall beH1961 a shameH1322, and the trust in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714 a confusion. 4For his princesH8269 wereH1961 at ZoanH6814, and his ambassadors came to Hanes. 5They were all ashamed of a peopleH5971 [that] did not profitH3276 them, nor were a helpH5828 or profitH3276, but a shameH1322, and alsoH1571 a reproachH2781. 6— The burdenH4853 of the beasts of the southH5045: Through a landH776 of troubleH6869 and anguish, whence come the lionessH3833 and lionH3918, the viperH660 and fiery flying serpent, they carryH5375 their riches upon the shouldersH3802 of asses, and their treasuresH214 upon the bunches of camelsH1581, to the peopleH5971 that shall not profitH3276 [them]. 7For EgyptH4714 shall helpH5826 in vain, and to no purpose; thereforeH3651 have I named her, Arrogance, that doeth nothing. 8NowH6258 goH935, writeH3789 it before them on a tabletH3871, and recordH3789 it in a bookH5612, that it may beH1961 for the time to comeH935, as a witnessH5707 for everH5769, 9that this is a rebelliousH4805 peopleH5971, lying children, children that will not hearH8085 the lawH8451 of Jehovah; 10who 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! 12ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith the HolyH6918 OneH2088 of IsraelH3478: Because ye rejectH3988 this wordH1697, and confide in oppressionH6233 and wilfulness, and depend thereon, 13thereforeH3651 this iniquityH5771 shall beH1961 to you as a breachH6556 ready to fallH5307, swelling out in a towering wallH2346, whose breaking shall comeH935 suddenlyH6597 in an instantH6621. 14And he shall breakH7665 it as the breakingH7665 of a potter's vessel, that is brokenH7665 in pieces unsparingly; and in the pieces of it there shall not be foundH4672 a sherd to take fireH784 from the hearth, or to scoop waterH4325 out of the cistern. 15For thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah, the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478: In returning and rest shall ye beH1961 savedH3467, in quietnessH8252 and confidence shall beH1961 your strengthH1369; but ye wouldH14 not. 16And ye saidH559, No, but 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 rebukeH1606 of oneH259; at the rebukeH1606 of fiveH2568 shall ye fleeH5127: till ye be leftH3498 as a beacon upon the topH7218 of a mountainH2022, and as a banner on a hillH2022. 18And thereforeH3651 will Jehovah waitH2442, that he may be gracious unto you, and thereforeH3651 will he liftH7311 himself up, that he may have mercyH7355 upon you; for Jehovah is a 1GodH430 of judgmentH4941: blessed are all they that waitH2442 for him. 19For the peopleH5971 shall dwellH3427 in ZionH6726, at JerusalemH3389. Thou shalt weepH1058 no more; he will be very gracious unto thee at the voiceH6963 of thy cryH2201; as he heareth it, he will answerH6030 thee. 20And the LordH136 will giveH5414 you the breadH3899 of adversity, and the waterH4325 of oppressionH3906; yetH5750 thy teachers shall not beH1961 hidden any more, but thine eyesH5869 shall seeH7200 thy teachers. 21And when ye turn to the right hand or when ye turn to the left, thine earsH241 shall hearH8085 a wordH1697 behind thee, sayingH559, This is the wayH1870, walk ye in it. 22And ye shall defileH2930 the silverH3701 covering of your graven images, and the goldH2091 overlayingH6826 of your molten images; thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth: Out! shalt thou sayH559 unto it. 23And he will giveH5414 the rainH4306 of thy seedH2233 with which thou shalt sowH2232 the groundH127; and breadH3899, the produceH8393 of the groundH127, and it shall beH1961 fat and rich. In that dayH3117 shall thy cattle feedH7462 in largeH7337 pastures; 24and the oxen and the asses that till the groundH127 shall eatH398 salted provender, which hath been winnowedH2219 with the shovel and with the fan. 25And there shall beH1961 upon every highH1364 mountainH2022 and upon every hillH2022 that is liftedH5375 up, brooks [and] water-courses, in the dayH3117 of the greatH7227 slaughterH2027, when the towersH4026 fallH5307. 26And the lightH216 of the moonH3842 shall beH1961 as the lightH216 of the sunH2535, and the lightH216 of the sunH2535 shall beH1961 sevenfoldH7659, as the lightH216 of sevenH7651 daysH3117, in the dayH3117 that Jehovah bindeth up the breach of his peopleH5971, and healeth the woundH4347 of their stroke. 27Behold, the nameH8034 of Jehovah cometh from far, burning [with] his angerH639 — a grievous conflagration; his lipsH8193 are fullH4390 of indignationH2195, and his tongueH3956 as a consumingH398 fireH784; 28and his breathH7307 as an overflowingH7857 torrent, which reacheth even to the neckH6677, to sift the nationsH1471 with the sieve of destruction, and [to put] a bridle into the jawsH3895 of the peoplesH5971, that causeth them to goH8582 astrayH8582. 29Ye shall have a songH7892, as in the nightH3915 when a feastH2282 is sanctifiedH6942; and joyH8057 of heartH3824, as of one who goeth with a pipe to comeH935 unto the mountainH2022 of Jehovah, to the RockH6697 of IsraelH3478. 30And Jehovah will cause the majestyH1935 of his voiceH6963 to be heardH8085, and will shew the lighting down of his armH2220 with indignation of angerH639, and a flameH3851 of consumingH398 fireH784, with waterflood and stormH2230 and hailstones. 31For through the voiceH6963 of Jehovah shall the Assyrian be broken downH5221: he will smite [him] with the rodH7626. 32And wherever shall pass the appointed staffH4294, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, it shall beH1961 with tambours and harpsH3658; and with tumultuous battlesH4421 will he fightH3898 with it. 33For Topheth is preparedH3559 of old; for the kingH4428 alsoH1571 it is preparedH3559: he hath made it deepH6009 and largeH7337; its pileH4071 is fireH784 and muchH7235 woodH6086; the breathH5397 of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindleH1197 it.
