Isaiah 30:7
To her - To Jerusalem or Judah. Sit still - It is safer and better for them to sit quietly at home, seeking to me for help.
5 aThey were all ashamed of a people who could not benefit them,
Or be help or benefit,
But a shame and also a reproach.”
Or be help or benefit,
But a shame and also a reproach.”
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;
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.
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:
And note it on a scroll,
That it may be for time to come,
Forever and ever:
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.
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.”
Turn aside from the path,
Cause the Holy One of Israel
To cease from before us.”
