Context of Isaiah 30:11
9These people are rebellious and deceitful children, children who refuse to listen to the Lord’s teachings. 10They say to the seers, ‘Don’t see ⌞the future⌟.’ They say to those who have visions, ‘Don’t have visions that tell us what is right. Tell us what we want to hear. See illusions. Get out of our way! Stop blocking our path! Get the Holy One of Israel out of our sight.’ ” 12This is what the Holy One of Israel says: You have rejected this warning, trusted oppression and deceit, and leaned on them. 13That is why your sin will be like a high wall with a bulging crack, ready to fall. All of a sudden it will fall.
