A Rebellious People
And note it on a scroll,
That it may be for time to come,
Forever and ever:
And to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us right things;
bSpeak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits.
Turn aside from the path,
Cause the Holy One of Israel
To cease from before us.”
“Because you adespise this word,
And trust in oppression and perversity,
And rely on them,

Isaiah 30:10
(Micah 2:6, Micah 2:11; Micah 3:5).
See not—as you now do, foretelling misfortune.
Prophesy not . . . right things—Not that they avowedly requested this, but their conduct virtually expressed it. No man, professedly, wished to be deceived; but many seek a kind of teaching which is deceit; and which, if they would examine, they might know to be such (I Kings 22:13). The Jews desired success to be foretold as the issue of their league with Egypt, though ill had been announced by God's prophet as the result; this constituted the "deceits."
