1.1Woe to the rebellious sons,
1.2says the Master,
1.3who take counsel, but not of me;
1.4and who offer wine offerings, but not of my Spirit,
1.5that they may add sin to sin;
2.1who start to go down to Mizraim,
2.2and have not asked at my mouth,
2.3to strengthen themselves by the strength of pharaoh,
2.4and to take shelter in the shadow of Mizraim.
3.1Therefore the strength of pharaoh will be to your shame,
3.2and the shelter of the shadow of Mizraim to your confusion.
4.1For while pharaoh is in Zoan
4.2his princes and ambassadors will act deceitfully.
5.1They go to a people
5.2that cannot profit them,
5.3neither be help nor a profit,
5.4but shame and disgrace.
Isaiah 30:1-56.1The burden of the cattle of the south:
6.2Into a land of trouble and anguish,
6.3where the lion and the young lion are
6.4and from them the viper and the flying dragon,
6.5they will carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys
6.6and their treasures on the humps of camels
6.7to a people that will not profit them.
7.1For the Mizraim will help in vain and in falsehood;
7.2therefore I have called their strength
7.3a sabbath.
Isaiah 30:6-78.1Now go write it upon a tablet
8.2and upon a scroll of contract
8.3that it may be for a latter day
8.4testimony forever.
9.1For this is a rebellious people, lying sons,
9.2sons who will not hear the law of the Master,
10.1who have said to the seers,
10.2Do not see,
10.3and to the prophets,
10.4Do not prophesy to us reproof.
10.5Speak to us deception.
10.6Prophesy lies.
11.1Get out of the way.
11.2Turn from the path.
11.3Cause the holy one of Israel
11.4to cease from before us.
Isaiah 30:8-1112.1Therefore, thus says the holy one of Israel:
12.2because you have despised this word
12.3and trusted in oppression
12.4and have complained yet trusted in it;
13.1therefore this iniquity will be to you
13.2as a breach ready to fall
13.3and as a high wall whose breaking comes suddenly at an instant.
14.1Its breaking is as the breaking of the potter's vessel
14.2that is broken in pieces without pity;
14.3so that there will not be found in its fragments a shard
14.4to take fire from the land
14.5or to take water with it out of the cistern.
Isaiah 30:12-1415.1Therefore, thus says the Master God, the holy one of Israel:
15.2when you will repent and rest, you will be saved;
15.3in quietness and in hope, your strength will be;
15.4but you would not listen.
16.1But you said, Not so, for we will ride on horses,
16.2and will flee on swift ones;
16.3therefore you will flee,
16.4and your pursuers will be swift.
17.11,000 will flee
17.2at the rebuke of 1;
17.3at the rebuke of 5
17.4you will flee
17.5until you are left
17.6as a beacon on the top of a mountain
17.7and as an ensign on a hill.
Isaiah 30:15-1718.1Therefore, the Master will begin to be favorful to you,
18.2and, therefore, he will be exalted that he may have mercy on you;
18.3for the Master is a God of judgment;
18.4blessed are all those who wait for him.
Isaiah 30:1819For the people will live in Zion at Jerusalem; you will not weep any longer; he will be very favorful to you at the voice of your cry; when he will hear it, he will answer you.
20Though the Master give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet he will not gather any longer those who have caused you to err, and your eyes will see the misfortune of those who have caused you to err;
21and your ears will hear a word behind you saying, This is the way, walk in it, and do not turn aside, either to the right hand or to the left.
22You will defile the silver which is overlaid on your idols, and the ornament of your molten images of gold; you will cast them away like unclean water of a menstruous woman; and you will take them outside like rubbish.
Isaiah 30:19-2223He will give rain to your seed, with which you will sow the ground; and grain of the increase of the land, and it will be fertile and plentiful; in that day, your cattle will graze in rich pastures.
24The oxen and the young bulls that till the ground will eat clean provender which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
25There will be on every high mountain and on every high hill, flowing streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter when the towers fall.
26The light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be 7-fold, as the light of 7 days, in the day that the Master binds up the breach of his people and heals the pain of their wound.
Isaiah 30:23-2627.1The name of the Master comes from far away,
27.2his wrath burns and his train is glorious;
27.3his lips are full of indignation
27.4and his tongue as a devouring fire;
28.1and his breath as an overflowing torrent
28.2will reach up to the neck
28.3to confuse the peoples because of their erring vanity,
28.4and because of the bridle which is in the jaws of the peoples,
28.5which causes them to err.
29.1You will have a song in the night
29.2as when a holy solemnity is kept,
29.3and gladness of heart
29.4as when one walks rejoicing
29.5to come to the mount of the Master
29.6to the rock of Israel.
30.1The Master will cause his glorious voice to be heard,
30.2and will show the striking of his arm
30.3with the indignation of his anger and with the flame of a devouring fire,
30.4with the rainstorm and tempest and hailstones.
31.1For from before the excellency of the Master, the Assyrian will be defeated
31.2and struck with a rod.
32.1In all his works,
32.2the staff of affliction which the Master will lay on him
32.3will be with tabrets and harps;
32.4and with a fierce battle he will fight against him.
33.1For he has prepared his punishment of old;
33.2yes, it is prepared to be executed;
33.3he has made it deep and large in his dwelling place;
33.4the trees and the fire are plentiful;
33.5the breath of the Master,
33.6like a stream of brimstone,
33.7does kindle it. Isaiah 30:27-33 (Isaiah 30 BRB)
