Isaiah 30

1WoeH1945 to the rebelliousH5637 childrenH1121, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that takeH6213 counselH6098, but not from me; and that coverH5258 with a coveringH4541, but not of my spiritH7307, that they may addH5595 sinH2403 to sinH2403: 2That walkH1980 to go downH3381 into EgyptH4714, and have not askedH7592 at my mouthH6310; to strengthenH5810 themselves in the strengthH4581 of PharaohH6547, and to trustH2620 in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714! 3Therefore shall the strengthH4581 of PharaohH6547 be your shameH1322, and the trustH2622 in the shadowH6738 of EgyptH4714 your confusionH3639. 4For his princesH8269 were at ZoanH6814, and his ambassadorsH4397 cameH5060 to HanesH2609. 5They were all ashamedH3001 of a peopleH5971 that could not profitH3276 them, nor be an helpH5828 nor profitH3276, but a shameH1322, and also a reproachH2781. 6The burdenH4853 of the beastsH929 of the southH5045: into the landH776 of troubleH6869 and anguishH6695, from which come the youngH3833 and the old lionH3918, the viperH660 and flyingH5774 serpentH8314, they will carryH5375 their richesH2428 upon the shouldersH3802 of young donkeysH5895, and their treasuresH214 upon the humpsH1707 of camelsH1581, to a peopleH5971 that shall not profitH3276 them . 7For the EgyptiansH4714 shall helpH5826 in vainH1892, and to no purposeH7385: therefore have I criedH7121 concerning thisH2063, TheirH1992 strengthH7293 is to sit stillH7674.1

8Now goH935, writeH3789 it before them in a tabletH3871, and noteH2710 it in a bookH5612, that it may be for the timeH3117 to comeH314 forH5704 everH5703 and everH5769:2 9That this is a rebelliousH4805 peopleH5971, lyingH3586 childrenH1121, childrenH1121 that willH14 not hearH8085 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068: 10Who sayH559 to the seersH7200, SeeH7200 not; and to the prophetsH2374, ProphesyH2372 not to us right thingsH5229, speakH1696 to us smooth thingsH2513, prophesyH2372 deceitsH4123: 11Withdraw fromH5493 the wayH1870, turn asideH5186 from the pathH734, cause the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 to ceaseH7673 from beforeH6440 us. 12Therefore thus saithH559 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, Because ye despiseH3988 this wordH1697, and trustH982 in oppressionH6233 and perversenessH3868, and reliedH8172 on them:3 13Therefore this iniquityH5771 shall be to you as a breachH6556 ready to fallH5307, swelling outH1158 in a highH7682 wallH2346, whose breakingH7667 comethH935 suddenlyH6597 at an instantH6621. 14And he shall breakH7665 it as the breakingH7667 of the potter’sH3335 vesselH5035 that is broken in piecesH3807; he shall not spareH2550: so that there shall not be foundH4672 in the burstingH4386 of it a pieceH2789 to takeH2846 fireH784 from the hearthH3344, or to takeH2834 waterH4325 out of the pitH1360.4 15For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478; In returningH7729 and restH5183 shall ye be savedH3467; in quietnessH8252 and in confidenceH985 shall be your strengthH1369: and ye wouldH14 not. 16But ye saidH559, No; for we will fleeH5127 upon horsesH5483; therefore shall ye fleeH5127: and, We will rideH7392 upon the swiftH7031; therefore shall they that pursueH7291 you be swiftH7043. 17OneH259 thousandH505 shall flee atH6440 the rebukeH1606 of oneH259; atH6440 the rebukeH1606 of fiveH2568 shall ye fleeH5127: till ye be leftH3498 as a beaconH8650 upon the topH7218 of a mountainH2022, and as an ensignH5251 on an hillH1389.5

18And therefore will the LORDH3068 waitH2442, that he may be graciousH2603 to you, and therefore will he be exaltedH7311, that he may have mercyH7355 upon you: for the LORDH3068 is a GodH430 of judgmentH4941: blessedH835 are all they that waitH2442 for him. 19For the peopleH5971 shall dwellH3427 in ZionH6726 at JerusalemH3389: thou shalt weepH1058 no moreH1058: he will be veryH2603 graciousH2603 to thee at the voiceH6963 of thy cryH2199; when he shall hearH8085 it, he will answerH6030 thee. 20And though the LordH136 shall giveH5414 you the breadH3899 of adversityH6862, and the waterH4325 of afflictionH3906, yet shall not thy teachersH3384 be removed into a cornerH3670 any more, but thy eyesH5869 shall seeH7200 thy teachersH3384:6 21And thy earsH241 shall hearH8085 a wordH1697 behindH310 thee, sayingH559, This is the wayH1870, walk ye in itH3212, when ye turn to the right handH541, and when ye turn to the leftH8041. 22Ye shall defileH2930 also the coveringH6826 of thy graven imagesH6456 of silverH3701, and the ornamentH642 of thy molten imagesH4541 of goldH2091: thou shalt cast them awayH2219 as a polluted clothH1739; thou shalt sayH559 to it, Be gone from meH3318.78 23Then shall he giveH5414 the rainH4306 of thy seedH2233, with which thou shalt sowH2232 the groundH127; and breadH3899 of the increaseH8393 of the earthH127, and it shall be fatH1879 and plenteousH8082: in that dayH3117 shall thy cattleH4735 feedH7462 in largeH7337 pasturesH3733. 24The oxenH504 likewise and the young donkeysH5895 that plowH5647 the groundH127 shall eatH398 curedH2548 fodderH1098, which hath been winnowedH2219 with the shovelH7371 and with the fanH4214.9 25And there shall be upon every highH1364 mountainH2022, and upon every highH5375 hillH1389, riversH6388 and streamsH2988 of watersH4325 in the dayH3117 of the greatH7227 slaughterH2027, when the towersH4026 fallH5307.10 26Moreover 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 upH2280 the breachH7667 of his peopleH5971, and healethH7495 the strokeH4273 of their woundH4347.

27Behold, the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 comethH935 from farH4801, burningH1197 with his angerH639, and the burdenH4858 of it is heavyH3514: his lipsH8193 are fullH4390 of indignationH2195, and his tongueH3956 as a devouringH398 fireH784:1112 28And his breathH7307, as an overflowingH7857 streamH5158, shall reach to the midstH2673 of the neckH6677, to siftH5130 the nationsH1471 with the sieveH5299 of vanityH7723: and there shall be a bridleH7448 in the jawsH3895 of the peopleH5971, causing them to errH8582. 29Ye shall have a songH7892, as in the nightH3915 when a holyH6942 solemnityH2282 is keptH6942; and gladnessH8057 of heartH3824, as when one goethH1980 with a pipeH2485 to comeH935 upon the mountainH2022 of the LORDH3068, to the mighty OneH6697 of IsraelH3478.13 30And the LORDH3068 shall cause his gloriousH1935 voiceH6963 to be heardH8085, and shall showH7200 the lighting downH5183 of his armH2220, with the indignationH2197 of his angerH639, and with the flameH3851 of a devouringH398 fireH784, with scatteringH5311, and tempestH2230, and hailstonesH68H1259.14 31For through the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 shall the AssyrianH804 be beaten downH2865, who smoteH5221 with a rodH7626. 32And in every placeH3605 where the groundedH4145 staffH4294 shall passH4569, which the LORDH3068 shall layH5117 upon him, it shall be with tabretsH8596 and harpsH3658: and in battlesH4421 of shakingH8573 will he fightH3898 with it.151617 33For TophetH8613 is ordainedH6186 of oldH865; yea, for the kingH4428 it is preparedH3559; he hath made it deepH6009 and largeH7337: the pileH4071 of it is fireH784 and muchH7235 woodH6086; the breathH5397 of the LORDH3068, like a streamH5158 of brimstoneH1614, doth kindleH1197 it.18
