Which is broken in pieces;
He shall not spare.
So there shall not be found among its fragments
1A shard to take fire from the hearth,
Or to take water from the cistern.”
a“In returning and rest you shall be saved;
In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.”
bBut you would not,
Therefore you shall flee!
And, “We will ride on swift horses”—
Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift!
At the threat of five you shall flee,
Till you are left as a1 pole on top of a mountain
And as a banner on a hill.
God Will Be Gracious
And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you.
For the Lord is a God of justice;
bBlessed are all those who cwait for Him.

Isaiah 30:16
flee—not as fugitives, but we will speed our course; namely, against the Assyrians, by the help of cavalry supplied by Egypt (Isaiah 31:1). This was expressly against the Mosaic law (Deuteronomy 17:16; see on Isaiah 2:7; Hosea 14:3).
shall . . . flee—literally, "before your enemies"; their sin and its punishment correspond.
