Isaiah:30-32
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 chatta #
ah #:
*
That walk to go down into Egypt ,
and have not asked at my mouth ;
to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh Par #
oh #,
and to trust in the shadow of Egypt !
*
Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame ,
and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion .
*
For his princes were at Zoan Tso #
an #,
and his ambassadors came to Hanes .
*
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 .
*
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 #
eph #
eh #
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 .
*
For the Egyptians shall help in vain ,
and to no purpose :
therefore have I cried concerning this zo #
th #,
Their strength is to sit still .
*
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 :
*
That this is a rebellious people ,
lying children ,
children that will not hear the law of the LORD :
*
Which say to the seers ,
See not ;
and to the prophets ,
Prophesy not unto us right things ,
speak unto us smooth things ,
prophesy deceits :
*
Get you out of the way ,
turn aside out of the path ,
cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us .
*
Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel Yisra #
el #,
Because ye despise this word ,
and trust in oppression and perverseness ,
and stay thereon :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For thus saith the Lord GOD ,
the Holy One of Israel Yisra #
el #;
In returning and rest shall ye be saved ;
in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength :
and ye would not .
*
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 .
*
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 gib #
ah #.
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And there shall be upon every high mountain ,
and upon every high hill gib #
ah #,
rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter ,
when the towers fall .
*
Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun ,
and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold shib #
athayim #,
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 .
*
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 za #
am #,
and his tongue as a devouring fire :
*
And his breath ,
as an overflowing stream ,
shall reach to the midst of the neck tsavva #
r #,
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 .
*
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 Yisra #
el #.
*
And 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 #
H1259 .
*
For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down ,
which smote with a rod .
*
And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass ma #
abar #,
which the LORD shall lay upon him ,
it shall be with tabrets and harps :
and in battles of shaking will he fight with it .
*
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 .
*
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help ;
and stay on horses ,
and trust in chariots ,
because they are many ;
and in horsemen ,
because they are very strong ;
but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel Yisra #
el #,
neither seek the LORD !
*
Yet he also is wise ,
and will bring evil ,
and will not call back his words :
but will arise against the house of the evildoers ,
and against the help of them that work iniquity .
*
Now the Egyptians are men ,
and not God ;
and their horses flesh ,
and not spirit .
When the LORD shall stretch out his hand ,
both he that helpeth shall fall ,
and he that is holpen shall fall down ,
and they all shall fail together .
*
For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me ,
Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey ,
when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him ,
he will not be afraid of their voice ,
nor abase himself for the noise of them :
so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion ,
and for the hill thereof .
*
As birds flying ,
so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem ;
defending also he will deliver it ;
and passing over he will preserve it .
*
Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted .
*
For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver ,
and his idols of gold ,
which your own hands have made unto you for a sin .
*
Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword ,
not of a mighty man ;
and the sword ,
not of a mean man ,
shall devour him :
but he shall flee from the sword ,
and his young men shall be discomfited .
*
And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear ,
and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign ,
saith the LORD ,
whose fire is in Zion ,
and his furnace in Jerusalem .
*
Behold ,
a king shall reign in righteousness ,
and princes shall rule in judgment .
*
And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind ,
and a covert from the tempest ;
as rivers of water in a dry place ,
as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land .
*
And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim ,
and the ears of them that hear shall hearken .
*
The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge da #
ath #,
and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly .
*
The vile person shall be no more called liberal ,
nor the churl said to be bountiful .
*
For the vile person will speak villany ,
and his heart will work iniquity ,
to practise hypocrisy ,
and to utter error against the LORD ,
to make empty the soul of the hungry ra #
eb #,
and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail .
*
The instruments also of the churl are evil :
he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor #
with lying words ,
even when the needy speaketh right .
*
But the liberal deviseth liberal things ;
and by liberal things shall he stand .
*
Rise up ,
ye women that are at ease sha #
anan #;
hear my voice ,
ye careless daughters ;
give ear unto my speech .
*
Many days and years shall ye be troubled ,
ye careless women :
for the vintage shall fail ,
the gathering shall not come .
*
Tremble ,
ye women that are at ease sha #
anan #;
be troubled ,
ye careless ones :
strip you ,
and make you bare ,
and gird sackcloth upon your loins .
*
They shall lament for the teats ,
for the pleasant fields ,
for the fruitful vine .
*
Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers ;
yea ,
upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city :
*
Because the palaces shall be forsaken ;
the multitude of the city shall be left ;
the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever ,
a joy of wild asses ,
a pasture of flocks ;
*
Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high ,
and the wilderness be a fruitful field ,
and the fruitful field be counted for a forest ya #
ar #.
*
Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness ,
and righteousness remain in the fruitful field .
*
And the work of righteousness shall be peace ;
and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever .
*
And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation ,
and in sure dwellings ,
and in quiet resting places ;
*
When it shall hail ,
coming down on the forest ya #
ar #;
and the city shall be low in a low place .
*
Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters ,
that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass .
*
Woe to thee that spoilest ,
and thou wast not spoiled ;
and dealest treacherously ,
and they dealt not treacherously with thee !
when thou shalt cease to spoil ,
thou shalt be spoiled ;
and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously ,
they shall deal treacherously with thee .
