Isaiah 30:1-17

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.
