23_ISA_30_01 woe 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 :
23_ISA_30_02 that 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 !
23_ISA_30_03 therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame , And the trust in the shadow of Egypt [ your ] confusion .
23_ISA_30_04 for his princes were at Zoan , And his ambassadors came to Hanes .
23_ISA_30_05 they were all ashamed of A people [ that ] could not profit them , nor be an help nor profit , but A shame , And also A reproach .
23_ISA_30_06 the 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 ] .
23_ISA_30_07 for the Egyptians shall help in vain , And to no purpose : therefore have I cried concerning this , their strength [ Is ] to sit still .
23_ISA_30_08 now 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 :
23_ISA_30_09 that this [ Is ] A rebellious people , lying children , children [ that ] will not hear the law of the LORD :
23_ISA_30_10 which say to the seers , see not ; And to the prophets , prophesy not unto us right things , speak unto us smooth things , prophesy deceits :
23_ISA_30_11 get you out of the way , turn aside out of the path , cause the holy one of Israel to cease from before us .
23_ISA_30_12 Wherefore thus saith the holy one of Israel , because ye despise this word , And trust in oppression And perverseness , And stay thereon :
23_ISA_30_13 therefore 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 .
23_ISA_30_14 And 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 .
23_ISA_30_15 for 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 .
23_ISA_30_16 but 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 .
23_ISA_30_17 one 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 .
23_ISA_30_18 And 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 .
23_ISA_30_19 for 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 .
23_ISA_30_20 And [ 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 :
23_ISA_30_21 And 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 .
23_ISA_30_22 ye 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 .
23_ISA_30_23 Then 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 .
23_ISA_30_24 the 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 .
23_ISA_30_25 And 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 .
23_ISA_30_26 moreover 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 .
23_ISA_30_27 behold , 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 :
23_ISA_30_28 And 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 .
23_ISA_30_29 ye 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 .
23_ISA_30_30 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard , And shall show 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 .
23_ISA_30_31 for through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down , [ which ] smote with A rod .
23_ISA_30_32 And [ 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 .
23_ISA_30_33 for 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 .
