Isaiah 30:6-11

6An oracle on the beasts of the Negeb. Through a land of trouble and anguish, from where come the lioness and the lion, the adder and the flying fiery serpent, they carry their riches on the backs of donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people that cannot profit them.

8And now, go, write it before them on a tablet and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come as a witness forever.

9For they are a rebellious people, lying children, children unwilling to hear the instruction of the Lord;

10who say to the seers, "Do not see," and to the prophets, "Do not prophesy to us what is right; speak to us smooth things, prophesy illusions,

11leave the way, turn aside from the path, let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel."
