Isaiah 30

1 The prophet threateneth the people for their confidence in Egypt, 8 and contempt of God's Word. 18 God's mercies towards his Church. 27 God's wrath, and the people's joy, in the destruction of Assyria.

 30:1 “Woe 1945 to the rebellious 5637 children 1121,” declares 5002 the LORD 3068, “Who execute 6213a a plan 6098, but not Mine 4480, And make 5259 an alliance 4541a, but not of My Spirit 7307, In order 4616 to add 5595 sin 2403b to sin 2403b;

 30:2 Who proceed 1980 down 3381 to Egypt 4714 Without 3808 consulting 7592 Me, To take 5756 refuge 5756 in the safety 4581 of Pharaoh 6547 And to seek 2620 shelter 2620 in the shadow 6738 of Egypt 4714!

 30:3 “Therefore the safety 4581 of Pharaoh 6547 will be your shame 1322 And the shelter 2622 in the shadow 6738 of Egypt 4714, your humiliation 3639.

 30:4 “For their princes 8269 are at Zoan 6814 And their ambassadors 4397 arrive 5060 at Hanes 2609.

 30:5 “Everyone 3605 will be ashamed 954 because 5921 of a people 5971a who cannot 3808 profit 3276 them, [Who are] not for help 5828 or profit 3276, but for shame 1322 and also 1571 for reproach 2781.”

 30:6 ¶ The oracle 4853b concerning the beasts 929 of the Negev 5045. Through a land 776 of distress 6869a and anguish 6695b, From where 1992a [come] lioness 3833b and lion 3918, viper 660 and flying 5774a serpent 8314a, They carry 5375 their riches 2428 on the backs 3802 of young 5895 donkeys 5895 And their treasures 214 on camels’ 1581 humps 1707, To a people 5971a who cannot 3808 profit 3276 [them];

 30:7 Even Egypt 4714, whose help 5826 is vain 1892 and empty 7385b. Therefore 3651, I have called 7121 her “Rahab 7294 who 1992a has been exterminated 7674.”

 30:8 Now 6258 go 935, write 3789 it on a tablet 3871 before 854 them And inscribe 2710 it on a scroll 5612, That it may serve 1961 in the time 3117 to come 314 As a witness forever 5704 5769.

 30:9 For this 1931 is a rebellious 4805 people 5971a, false 3586 sons 1121, Sons 1121 who refuse 3808 14 to listen 8085 To the instruction 8451 of the LORD 3068;

 30:10 Who 834 say 559 to the seers 7203a, “You must not see 7200 [visions]”; And to the prophets 2374, “You must not prophesy 2372 to us what 5228 is right 5228, Speak 1696 to us pleasant 2513b words 2513b, Prophesy 2372 illusions 4123.

 30:11 “Get 5493 out of the way 1870, turn 5186 aside 5186 from the path 734, Let us hear 7673a no 7673a 4480 more 7673a about the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478.”

 30:12 Therefore 3651 thus 3541 says 559 the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478, “Since 3282 you have rejected 3988a this 2088 word 1697 And have put 982 your trust 982 in oppression 6233 and guile 3868, and have relied 8172 on them,

 30:13 Therefore 3651 this 2088 iniquity 5771 will be to you Like a breach 6556 about to fall 5307, A bulge 1158 in a high 7682 wall 2346, Whose 834 collapse 7667 comes 935 suddenly 6597 in an instant 6621,

 30:14 Whose collapse 7665 is like the smashing 7667 of a potter’s 3335 jar 5035a, So ruthlessly 3808 2550 shattered 3807 That a sherd 2789 will not be found 4672 among its pieces 4386 To take 2846 fire 784 from a hearth 3344 Or to scoop 2834 water 4325 from a cistern 1360.”

 30:15 For thus 3541 the Lord 136 GOD 3068, the Holy 6918 One 6918 of Israel 3478, has said 559, “In repentance 7729 and rest 5183a you will be saved 3467, In quietness 8252 and trust 985 is your strength 1369.” But you were not willing 14,

 30:16 And you said 559, “No 3808, for we will flee 5127 on horses 5483b,” Therefore 5921 3651 you shall flee 5127! “And we will ride 7392 on swift 7031 [horses],” Therefore 5921 3651 those who pursue 7291 you shall be swift 7043.

 30:17 One 259 thousand 505 [will flee] at the threat 1606 of one 259 [man]; You will flee 5127 at the threat 1606 of five 2568, Until 5704 518 you are left 3498 as a flag 8650 on a mountain 2022 top 7218 And as a signal 5251 on a hill 1389.

 30:18 ¶ Therefore 3651 the LORD 3068 longs 2442 to be gracious 2603a to you, And therefore 3651 He waits 2442 on high 7311 to have 7355 compassion 7355 on you. For the LORD 3068 is a God 430 of justice 4941; How blessed 835 are all 3605 those who long 2442 for Him.

 30:19 ¶ O people 5971a in Zion 6726, inhabitant 3427 in Jerusalem 3389, you will weep 1058 no 3808 longer 1058. He will surely 2603a be gracious 2603a to you at the sound 6963 of your cry 2199; when He hears 8085 it, He will answer 6030a you.

 30:20 Although the Lord 136 has given 5414 you bread 3899 of privation 6862b and water 4325 of oppression 3906, [He], your Teacher 4175b will no 3808 longer 5750 hide 3670 Himself, but your eyes 5869 will behold 7200 your Teacher 4175b.

 30:21 Your ears 241 will hear 8085 a word 1697 behind 4480 310 you, “This 2088 is the way 1870, walk 1980 in it,” whenever 3588 you turn 3231 to the right 3231 or to the left 8041.

 30:22 And you will defile 2930 your graven 6456 images 6456 overlaid 6826 with silver 3701, and your molten 4541a images 4541a plated 642 with gold 2091. You will scatter 2219 them as an impure 1739 thing 1739, [and] say 559 to them, “Be gone 3318!”

 30:23 ¶ Then He will give 5414 [you] rain 4306 for the seed 2233 which 834 you will sow 2232 in the ground 127, and bread 3899 [from] the yield 8393 of the ground 127, and it will be rich 1879 and plenteous 8082b; on that day 3117 your livestock 4735 will graze 7462a in a roomy 7337 pasture 3733b.

 30:24 Also the oxen 504 and the donkeys 5895 which work 5647 the ground 127 will eat 398 salted 2548 fodder 1098, which 834 has been winnowed 2219 with shovel 7371 and fork 4214.

 30:25 On every 3605 lofty 1364 mountain 2022 and on every 3605 high 5375 hill 1389 there will be streams 6388 running 2988 with water 4325 on the day 3117 of the great 7227a slaughter 2027, when the towers 4026 fall 5307.

 30:26 The light 216 of the moon 3842 will be as the light 216 of the sun 2535, and the light 216 of the sun 2535 will be seven 7659 times 7659 [brighter], like the light 216 of seven 7651 days 3117, on the day 3117 the LORD 3068 binds 2280 up the fracture 7667 of His people 5971a and heals 7495 the bruise 4273 He has inflicted 4347.

 30:27 ¶ Behold 2009, the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 comes 935 from a remote 4801 place 4801; Burning 1197a is His anger 639 and dense 3514 is [His] smoke 4858; His lips 8193 are filled 4390 with indignation 2195 And His tongue 3956 is like a consuming 398 fire 784;

 30:28 His breath 7307 is like an overflowing 7857 torrent 5158a, Which reaches 2673 to the neck 6677, To shake 5130 the nations 1471 back 5130 and forth 1234 in a sieve 5299a, And to [put] in the jaws 3895 of the peoples 5971a the bridle 7448 which leads 8582 to ruin 8582.

 30:29 You will have 1961 songs 7892a as in the night 3915 when you keep 6942 the festival 2282, And gladness 8057 of heart 3824 as when one marches 1980 to [the sound of] the flute 2485, To go 935 to the mountain 2022 of the LORD 3068, to the Rock 6697 of Israel 3478.

 30:30 And the LORD 3068 will cause His voice 6963 of authority 1935 to be heard 8085, And the descending 5183b of His arm 2220 to be seen 7200 in fierce 2197 anger 639, And [in] the flame 3851 of a consuming 398 fire 784 In cloudburst 5311, downpour 2230 and hailstones.

 30:31 For at the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068 Assyria 804b will be terrified 2865, [When] He strikes 5221 with the rod 7626.

 30:32 And every 3605 blow 4569a of the rod 4294 of punishment 4145, Which 834 the LORD 3068 will lay 5117 on him, Will be with [the music of] tambourines 8596 and lyres 3658; And in battles 4421, brandishing 8573 weapons 8573, He will fight 3898a them.

 30:33 For Topheth 8613 has long 865a been ready 6186a, Indeed 1571, it has been prepared 3559 for the king 4428. He has made 6009 it deep 6009 and large 7337, A pyre 4071 of fire 784 with plenty 7235a of wood 6086; The breath 5397 of the LORD 3068, like a torrent 5158a of brimstone 1614, sets 1197a it afire 1197a.
