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;
Therefore I have called her
Rahab-Hem-Shebeth.
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,
aLike a breach ready to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose breaking bcomes suddenly, in an instant.
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!
| << Isaiah 30:7 | Isaiah 30:9 >> |
