Isaiah 30
30:1Woe, O children of defectors! Thus says the lord, You made counsel, but not through me; and treaties not by my spirit, to add sins upon sins.
30:2The ones going went down into Egypt (but of me they did not ask) to be helped by Pharaoh, and sheltered by the Egyptians.
30:3For the protection by Pharaoh will be to you for shame, and the ones relying upon Egypt for scorn.
30:4For chiefs in Tanis are evil messengers.
30:5In folly they labor over a people who shall not benefit them, neither for help, nor for benefit, but for shame, and scorn.
30:6The vision of the four-footed, of the ones in the wilderness. In the affliction and in the straits are the lion and lion's cub; from there also asps and the progeny of flying asps; the ones who brought upon donkeys and camels of their riches to a nation who shall not benefit them for help, but for shame and scorn.
30:7The Egyptians shall benefit you in vain and with emptiness. Report to them that, This comfort of yours is vain!
30:8Now then while sitting, write these things upon a writing-tablet, and upon a scroll, for these things shall be for times of days, and even into the eon.
30:9For a people are resisting persuasion; lying sons who were not willing to hear the law of God.
30:10The ones saying to the prophets, Do not announce to us! and to the ones that see the visions, Do not speak to us, but speak to us, and announce to us another addicting delusion,
30:11and turn us from this way! Remove from us this road, and remove from us the oracle of Israel!
30:12On account of this, thus says the lord, the holy one of Israel, Because you resisted persuasion to these words, and hoped upon a lie, and that you grumbled, and became relying upon this word.
30:13Therefore this will be to you -- this sin will be as a wall of a fortified city falling immediately being captured, of which immediately is at hand the calamitous downfall.
30:14And the calamitous downfall of it will be as the breaking of a receptacle of earthenware of a thin clay vessel, so that there should not be found among them even a potsherd in which to lift coals of fire, and with which to whistle up a little water.
30:15Thus says the Lord, the lord, the holy one of Israel, Whenever turning you should moan, then shall you be delivered. And you shall know where you were when you relied upon the vanities; your strength became vain, and you did not want to hear.
30:16But you said, Upon horses we shall flee. On account of this you shall flee and say, we will be upon light riders; on account of this the ones pursuing you will be nimble.
30:17On account of one voice thousands shall flee; and because of the voice of five many shall flee until whenever you should be left behind as a mast upon a mountain, and as a flag borne upon a hill.
30:18And again God will wait so as to pity you. And on account of this he shall be raised up high to show mercy on you, because the lord your God is judge. Blessed are all the ones adhering in him.
30:19For the holy people shall live in Zion. And Jerusalem in weeping wept, saying, Show mercy on me! He shall show mercy on you. When he perceived the sound of your cry he heeded you.
30:20The lord shall give to you bread of affliction, and scant water. And the ones misleading you no longer shall approach to you. For your eyes shall discover the ones misleading you,
30:21and your ears shall hearken to the words of the ones following after you, misleading you. The ones saying, This is the way, we should go by it, whether right or whether left.
30:22And you shall remove the idols being silver plated; and the ones being gilded you shall make into fine dust; and you shall winnow as the water of a woman sitting apart, and you shall thrust them away as dung.
30:23Then there will be rain for the seed of your land; and the bread from the produce of your land will be plenteous and lustrous; and your cattle shall graze in that day in a place fertile and broad-spaced.
30:24Your bulls and oxen working the ground shall eat straw being prepared from barley being winnowed.
30:25And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every elevated hill, water traveling over in that day, whenever many should be destroyed, and whenever towers shall fall.
30:26And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun; and the light of the sun will be seven-fold in the day whenever the lord should heal the breaking up of his people, and shall heal the grief of your calamity.
30:27Behold, the name the lord comes after a long time, burning rage with glory. The oracle of his lips is an oracle full of anger, and the anger of his rage shall devour as fire.
30:28And his breath, as water being dragged along in a ravine, shall come unto the neck, and be divided. He shall disturb nations for a vain addiction to a delusion, and an addiction to a delusion shall pursue them, and it shall take them according to their face.
30:29Must you always be glad and enter into my holy places always, as the ones solemnizing a holiday? and as ones being glad to enter with a pipe, into the mountain of the lord, to the God of Israel?
30:30And the lord will make audible the glory of his voice; and the rage of his arm he will show with rage and anger. And as a flame devouring he shall strike with a thunderbolt violently; even as water and hail being carried together by force.
30:31For by the voice of the lord the Assyrians shall be vanquished, even by the calamity in which he should strike them.
30:32And it will be to him round about, from where was to him hope for help, upon whom he relied upon; they with tambourines and harps shall wage war on him from out of revolt.
30:33For you shall be exacted before some days; not also for you was it prepared to reign? a deep ravine, wood being situated near a fire, and much wood; the rage of the lord as a ravine burning under sulphur.
