Isaiah 30:8

Isaiah 30:8

6 ^aThe¹ burden against the beasts of the South.
Through a land of trouble and anguish,
From which came the lioness and lion,
^bThe viper and fiery flying serpent,
They will carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys,
And their treasures on the humps of camels,
To a people who shall not profit;

7 ^aFor the Egyptians shall help in vain and to no purpose.
Therefore I have called her
Rahab-Hem-Shebeth.

A Rebellious People

8 Now go, ^awrite it before them on a tablet,
And note it on a scroll,
That it may be for time to come,
Forever and ever:

9 That ^athis is a rebellious people,
Lying children,
Children who will not hear the law of the Lord;

10 ^aWho say to the seers, “Do not see,”
And to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us right things;
^bSpeak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits.

11 Get out of the way,
Turn aside from the path,
Cause the Holy One of Israel
To cease from before us.”

12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel:
“Because you ^adespise this word,
And trust in oppression and perversity,
And rely on them,

13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you
^aLike a breach ready to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose breaking ^bcomes suddenly, in an instant.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 30:7

Isaiah 30:9 >>

Write - This warning. Before - In their presence. Note it - So this was to be written twice over, once in a table, to be hanged up in some public place, that all present might read it; and again, in a book, that it might be kept for the use of posterity. The time to come - As a witness for me and against them.
