Context of Isaiah 30:9
7Help from Egypt is useless! So I call Egypt ‘Rahab who does nothing.’ 8Go and write this message down for them to see. Yes, write it in a book so that it will always be there to read. In the future, it will always show what is true. These people have turned against the Lord. They are his children but they love to tell lies. They do not want to obey his law. 10They say to the seers, ‘Do not see any more visions!’ They say to the prophets, ‘Do not tell us messages about what is right! Tell us nice things, even if they are not true. 11Leave this path. Get out of our way! Stop telling us about the Holy God of Israel.’
