Isaiah 30

30
The Warning of Judah
1#Isa 1:2; 29:15 Woe to the rebellious children,
says the Lord,
who take counsel, but not from Me,
and make an alliance, but not of My Spirit,
in order to add sin to sin;
2#Nu 27:21; Isa 36:6 they walk down to Egypt
and have not asked from My mouth,
to strengthen themselves in the safety of Pharaoh
and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3#Isa 20:5 Therefore the safety of Pharaoh shall be your shame
and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your humiliation.
4#Isa 19:11; Jer 43:7 For their princes were at Zoan,
and their ambassadors came to Hanes.
5#Jer 2:36; Isa 30:7 They all will be ashamed
of a people who cannot profit them,
who are not a help or profit,
but a shame and also a reproach.
6#Dt 8:15; Isa 46:1–2; Jer 11:4The burden of the beasts of the Negev.
Through a land of trouble and anguish,
from which comes the lioness and lion,
the viper and fiery flying serpent,
they will carry their riches on the shoulders of young donkeys,
and their treasures on the humps of camels,
to a people who shall not profit them.
7For the Egyptians shall help in vain and to no purpose.
Therefore, I have called her,
“Rahab who has been exterminated.”
8#Isa 8:1; Hab 2:2 Now go, write it before them on a tablet,
and note it in a book,
that it may serve in the time to come
as a witness forever;
9#Isa 30:1 for this is a rebellious people, lying children,
children who refuse to listen to the law of the Lord;
10#Am 7:13; Jer 11:21 they say to the seers,
“You must not see visions,”
and to the prophets,
“You must not prophesy to us right things;
speak to us pleasant things,
prophesy illusions.
11Get out of the way,
turn aside from the path,
let us hear no more
about the Holy One of Israel.”
12#Isa 5:24Therefore, thus says the Holy One of Israel:
Because you despise this word
and trust in oppression and perverseness,
and rely on them,
13#1Ki 20:30; Ps 62:3 therefore this iniquity shall be to you
as a breach ready to fall, swelling up in a high wall,
whose collapse comes suddenly, in an instant.
14#Ps 2:9; Jer 19:10–11 He shall break it as the breaking of the potter’s vessel
that is broken in pieces;
He shall not spare so that there shall not be found in the breaking of it a shard
to take fire from the hearth
or with which to take water out of a cistern.
15#Isa 32:17; 7:4For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel:
In returning and rest you shall be saved;
in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.
Yet you were not willing,
16#Isa 31:1; 31:3 and you said, “No, for we will flee on horses”;
therefore you shall flee.
“And we will ride on swift horses”;
therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.
17#Lev 26:8; 26:36 One thousand shall flee
at the threat of one man;
at the threat of five
you shall flee
until you are left
as a flag on the top of a mountain
and as a banner on a hill.
God’s Promise to Zion
18#Isa 25:9; 2Pe 3:9 Therefore, the Lord longs to be gracious to you,
and therefore, He waits on high to have mercy on you;
for the Lord is a God of justice;
how blessed are all who long for Him.
19#Ps 50:15; Isa 58:9O people in Zion, inhabitants in Jerusalem, you shall weep no more. He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry. When He hears it, He will answer you. 20#1Ki 22:27; Ps 74:9Though the Lord has given you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet He, your Teacher, will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. 21#Ps 25:8–9; Isa 35:8–9Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left. 22#Jdg 17:3–4; Isa 46:6You shall defile also your graven images overlaid with silver, and your ­molded images ornamented with gold. You shall scatter them as an impure thing, and say to them, “Be gone!”
23#Isa 32:20; Ps 65:9–13Then He shall give you rain for the seed which you shall sow in the ground and bread of the increase of the earth. And it shall be rich and plentiful. On that day your cattle shall feed in large pastures. 24#Ge 45:6The oxen likewise and the young donkeys that work the ground shall eat cured fodder, which has been winnowed with the shovel and fork. 25#Isa 35:6–7; 43:19–20There shall be on every high mountain and on every high hill rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. 26#Isa 60:19–20; Dt 32:39Moreover 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 binds up the breach of His people and heals the wound from His blow.
Judgment on Assyria
27See, the name of the Lord comes from afar,
burning with His anger, and its burden is heavy;
His lips are full of indignation,
and His tongue as a devouring fire.
28#Isa 8:8; 11:4 And His breath is as an overflowing stream
which reaches to the middle 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.
29#Ps 42:4; Isa 2:3 You shall have songs,
as in the night when a festival is kept,
and gladness of heart,
as when one goes with a flute
to come into the mountain of the Lord,
to the Mighty One of Israel.
30#Ps 18:13–14; Jos 10:11 The Lord shall cause His glorious voice to be heard,
and shall show the descending of His arm
with the indignation of His anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire,
with scattering, and cloudburst, and hailstones.
31#Isa 9:4; 10:5 For through the voice of the Lord the Assyrian shall be beaten down
when He strikes with a rod.
32#Isa 11:15; 2:19 And every blow of the rod of punishment
which the Lord shall lay on him
shall be with tambourines and harps;
and in battles, brandishing weapons, He will fight them.
33#2Ki 23:10; Ge 19:24; Jer 19:6 For Topheth has been long prepared,
indeed, for the king it has been prepared.
He has made it deep and large,
a pile of fire with much wood;
the breath of the Lord,
like a stream of brimstone,
kindles it.
