Isaiah 30
Revised Version 1895
1WoeH1945 to the rebelliousH5637 childrenH1121, saith the LORDH3068, that take counselH6098, but notH3808 of meH5921; and that cover with a coveringH4541, but notH3808 of my spiritH7307, that they may addH5595 sinH2403 to sinH2403: 2that walkH1980 to goH1980 downH3381 intoH1980 EgyptH4714, and have notH3808 askedH7592 at my mouthH6310; to strengthen themselves in the strengthH4581 of PharaohH6547, and to trust in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714! 3Therefore shall the strengthH4581 of PharaohH6547 be your shameH1322, and the trust in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714 your confusion. 4For his princesH8269 are at ZoanH6814, and his ambassadorsH4397 are comeH1961 to HanesH2609. 5They shall allH3605 be ashamed of a peopleH5971 that cannotH3808 profitH3276 them, that are notH3808 an helpH5828 norH3808 profitH3276, but a shameH1322, and also a reproachH2781. 6The burdenH4853 of the beastsH929 of the SouthH5045. ThroughH5921 the landH776 of troubleH6869 and anguishH6869, from whence come the lionessH3833 and the lionH3918, the viperH660 and fiery flying serpent, they carryH5375 their richesH2428 uponH5921 the shouldersH3802 of youngH5895 asses, and their treasuresH214 uponH5921 the bunches of camelsH1581, to a peopleH5971 that shall notH3808 profitH3276 them. 7For EgyptH4714 helpeth in vainH1892, and to no purpose: therefore have I calledH7121 herH7121 RahabH7293 that sitteth still. 8NowH6258 goH935, writeH3789 it beforeH5704 them on a tabletH3871, and inscribeH2710 it in a bookH5612, that it may be for the time to comeH935 for everH5769 and everH5769. 9For it is a rebelliousH4805 peopleH5971, lying childrenH1121, childrenH1121 that will notH3808 hearH8085 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068: 10whichH834 sayH559 to the seersH2374, SeeH7200 notH3808; and to the prophetsH2374, ProphesyH2372 notH3808 unto usH7200 right things, speakH1696 unto usH7200 smooth things, prophesyH2372 deceits: 11getH5493 youH6440 outH4480 of the wayH1870, turnH5493 asideH5493 outH4480 of the pathH734, cause the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478 to ceaseH7673 from beforeH6440 usH6440. 12Wherefore thusH3541 saith the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478, BecauseH5921 ye despiseH3988 this wordH1697, and trustH982 in oppressionH6233 and perverseness, and stay thereonH5921; 13therefore this iniquityH5771 shall be to youH834 as a breachH6556 ready to fallH5307, swelling outH935 in a highH7682 wallH2346, whoseH834 breaking cometh suddenlyH6597 at an instantH6621. 14And he shall breakH7665 it as a potter’sH3335 vesselH2789 is brokenH7665, breakingH7665 it in piecesH7665 withoutH3808 sparingH2550; soH3808 that there shall notH3808 be foundH4672 among the piecesH7665 thereof a sherdH2789 to takeH2846 fireH784 from the hearthH3344, or to takeH2846 waterH4325 withal outH4672 of the cisternH1360. 15For thusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GODH136, the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478, In returning and restH8252 shall ye be savedH3467; in quietnessH8252 and in confidence shall be your strengthH1369: and ye would notH3808. 16but ye saidH559, NoH3808, for weH3588 will fleeH5127 uponH5921 horsesH5483; therefore shall ye fleeH5127: and, WeH3588 will rideH7392 uponH5921 the swiftH7031; therefore shall they that pursueH7291 youH3588 be swiftH7031. 17One thousandH505 shall fleeH5127 at the rebukeH1606 of one; at the rebukeH1606 of fiveH2568 shall ye fleeH5127: tillH5704 ye be leftH3498 as a beacon uponH5921 the topH7218 of a mountainH2022, and as an ensign on an hillH2022. 18And therefore will the LORDH3068 waitH2442, that he may be gracious unto youH3588, and therefore will he be exaltedH7311, that he may have mercyH7355 uponH4941 youH3588: for the LORDH3068 is a GodH430 of judgmentH4941; blessedH835 are allH3605 they that waitH2442 for him. 19For the peopleH5971 shall dwellH3427 in ZionH6726 at JerusalemH3389: thou shalt weepH1058 noH3808 moreH3808; he will surelyH3588 be gracious unto thee at the voiceH6963 of thy cryH2201; when he shall hearH8085, he will answerH6030 thee. 20And though the LordH136 giveH5414 youH5414 the breadH3899 of adversity and the waterH4325 of affliction, yet shall notH3808 thy teachers be hidden anyH5750 moreH5750, but thine eyesH5869 shall seeH7200 thy teachers: 21and thine earsH241 shall hearH8085 a wordH1697 behindH310 thee, sayingH559, This is the wayH1870, walkH1870 ye in it; when ye turn to the right hand and when e turn to the leftH8041. 22And ye shall defileH2930 the overlayingH6826 of thy gravenH6456 imagesH6456 of silverH3701, and the platingH6826 of thy molten imagesH6456 of goldH2091: thou shalt cast them awayH3318 as an uncleanH2930 thingH1739; thou shalt sayH559 unto it, GetH3318 thee hence. 23And he shall giveH5414 the rainH4306 of thy seedH2233, that thou shalt sowH2232 the groundH127 withal; and breadH3899 of the increaseH8393 of the groundH127, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that dayH3117 shall thy cattleH4735 feedH7462 in largeH7337 pasturesH3733. 24the oxenH504 likewise and the youngH5895 asses that tillH5647 the groundH127 shall eatH398 savoury provender, whichH834 hath been winnowedH2219 with the shovelH7371 and with the fan. 25And there shall be uponH5921 everyH3605 loftyH1364 mountainH2022, and uponH5921 everyH3605 highH1364 hillH2022, rivers and streamsH6388 of watersH4325, in the dayH3117 of the greatH7227 slaughterH2027, when the towersH4026 fallH5307. 26MoreoverH1961 the lightH216 of the moonH3842 shall be as the lightH216 of the sunH2535, and the lightH216 of the sunH2535 shall be sevenfoldH7659, as the lightH216 of sevenH7651 daysH3117, in the dayH3117 that the LORDH3068 bindeth upH853 the hurt of his peopleH5971, and healeth the stroke of their woundH4347. 27BeholdH2009, the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 cometh from farH4801, burningH784 with his angerH639, and in thick rising smokeH4858: his lipsH8193 are fullH4390 of indignationH2195, and his tongueH3956 is as a devouringH398 fireH784: 28and his breathH7307 is as an overflowingH7857 streamH5158, that reacheth evenH5704 unto the neckH6677, to sift the nationsH1471 with the sieve of vanityH7723: and a bridleH7448 that causeth to errH8582 shall be in the jawsH3895 of the peoplesH5971. 29Ye shall have a songH7892 as in the nightH3915 when a holyH6942 feastH2282 is kept; and gladnessH8057 of heartH3824, as when one goeth with a pipe to comeH935 intoH413 the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068, to the RockH6697 of IsraelH3478. 30And the LORDH3068 shall cause his gloriousH1935 voiceH6963 to be heardH8085, and shall shew the lighting downH639 of his armH2220, with the indignationH2197 of his angerH639, and the flameH3851 of a devouringH398 fireH784, with a blast, and tempest, and hailstonesH1259. 31For throughH3588 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 shall the Assyrian be broken in pieces, whichH7626 smoteH5221 with a rodH7626. 32And everyH3605 stroke of the appointed staffH4294, whichH834 the LORDH3068 shall layH5117 uponH5921 him, shall be with tabrets and harpsH3658: and in battlesH4421 of shaking will he fightH3898 with them. 33For a TophethH8613 is preparedH3559 of old; yeaH3588, for the kingH4428 it is madeH3559 readyH3559; he hath madeH3559 it deepH6009 and largeH7337: the pileH4071 thereof is fireH784 and muchH7235 woodH6086; the breathH5397 of the LORDH3068, like a streamH5158 of brimstoneH1614, doth kindleH1197 it.
