Isaiah 30
The Worthless Treaty with Egypt
1Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that
take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a
covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to
sin:
2That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at
my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of
Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame,
and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came
to Hanes.
5They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit
them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a
reproach.
6The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of
trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old
lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry
their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their
treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that
shall not profit them.
7For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose:
therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is
to sit still.
A Warning to a Rebellious People
8Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in
a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and
ever:
9That this is a rebellious people, lying children,
children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets,
Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth
things, prophesy deceits:
11Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path,
cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye
despise this word, and trust in oppression and
perverseness, and stay thereon:
13Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach
ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose
breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
14And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters'
vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so
that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a
sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water
withal out of the pit.
15For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In
returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in
confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
16But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses;
therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the
swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the
rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon
upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.
God's Mercies
18And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be
gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that
he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of
judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
19For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou
shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at
the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will
answer thee. 20And though the Lord give you the bread of
adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy
teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine
eyes shall see thy teachers: 21And thine ears shall hear
a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in
it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to
the left. 22Ye shall defile also the covering of thy
graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten
images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous
cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.
23Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou
shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of
the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day
shall thy cattle feed in large pastures. 24The oxen
likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall
eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the
shovel and with the fan. 25And there shall be upon every
high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and
streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when
the towers fall. 26Moreover the light of the moon shall
be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun
shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the
day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people,
and healeth the stroke of their wound.
27Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning
with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips
are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring
fire:
28And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach
to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the
sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws
of the people, causing them to err.
29Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy
solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one
goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD,
to the mighty One of Israel.
30And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be
heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with
the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a
devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and
hailstones.
31For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be
beaten down, which smote with a rod.
32And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass,
which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with
tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he
fight with it.
33For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is
prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile
thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD,
like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
