ASV_Strong : Isaiah 30
1. Woe[H1945] to the rebellious[H5637] children[H1121], saith[H5002] Jehovah[H3068], that take[H6213] counsel[H6098], but not of me[H5258]; and that make a league[H4541], but not of my Spirit[H7307], that they may add[H5595] sin[H2403] to sin[H2403],
2. that set[H1980] out to go down[H3381] into Egypt[H4714], and have not asked[H7592] at my mouth[H6310]; to strengthen[H5810] themselves in the strength[H4581] of Pharaoh[H6547], and to take refuge[H2620] in the shadow[H6738] of Egypt[H4714]!
3. Therefore shall the strength[H4581] of Pharaoh[H6547] be your shame[H1322], and the refuge[H2622] in the shadow[H6738] of Egypt[H4714] your confusion[H3639].
4. For their princes[H8269] are at Zoan[H6814], and their ambassadors[H4397] are come[H5060] to Hanes[H2609].
5. They shall all be ashamed[H3001] because of a people[H5971] that cannot profit[H3276] them[H5828], that are not a help nor profit[H3276], but a shame[H1322], and also a reproach[H2781].
6. The burden[H4853] of the beasts[H929] of the South[H5045]. Through the land[H776] of trouble[H6869] and anguish[H6695], from whence come the lioness[H3918] and the lion[H3918], the viper[H660] and fiery[H8314] flying[H5774] serpent[H8314], they carry[H5375] their riches[H2428] upon the shoulders[H3802] of young asses[H5895], and their treasures[H214] upon the humps[H1707] of camels[H1581], to a people[H5971] that shall not profit them[H3276].
7. For Egypt[H4714] helpeth[H5826] in vain[H1892], and to no purpose[H7385]: therefore have I called[H7121] her[H1992] Rahab[H7293] that[H2063] sitteth still[H7674].
8. Now go[H935], write[H3789] it before them on a tablet[H3871], and inscribe[H2710] it in a book[H5612], that it may be for the time[H3117] to come[H314] for[H5704] ever[H5703] and ever[H5769].
9. For it is a rebellious[H4805] people[H5971], lying[H3586] children[H1121], children[H1121] that will[H14] not hear[H8085] the law[H8451] of Jehovah[H3068];
10. that say[H559] to the seers[H7200], See[H7200] not[H2374]; and to the prophets, Prophesy[H2372] not unto us right things[H5229], speak[H1696] unto us smooth things[H2513], prophesy[H2372] deceits[H4123],
11. get you out[H5493] of the way[H1870], turn aside[H5186] out of the path[H734], cause the Holy One[H6918] of Israel[H3478] to cease[H7673] from before us[H6440].
12. Wherefore thus saith[H559] the Holy One[H6918] of Israel[H3478], Because ye despise[H3988] this word[H1697], and trust[H982] in oppression[H6233] and perverseness[H3868], and rely thereon[H8172];
13. therefore this iniquity[H5771] shall be to you as a breach[H6556] ready to fall[H5307], swelling out[H1158] in a high[H7682] wall[H2346], whose breaking[H7667] cometh[H935] suddenly[H6597] in an instant[H6621].
14. And he shall break[H7665] it as a potter[H3335]'s vessel[H5035] is broken[H7667], breaking it in pieces[H3807] without sparing[H2550]; so that there shall not be found[H4672] among the pieces[H4386] thereof a sherd[H2789] wherewith to take[H2846] fire[H784] from the hearth[H3344], or to dip[H2834] up water[H4325] out of the cistern[H1360].
15. For thus said[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069], the Holy One[H6918] of Israel[H3478], In returning[H7729] and rest[H5183] shall ye be saved[H3467]; in quietness[H8252] and in confidence[H985] shall be your strength[H1369]. And ye would not[H14]:
16. but ye said[H559], No[H5127], for we will flee upon horses[H5483]; therefore shall ye flee[H5127]: and[H7392], We will ride upon the swift[H7031]; therefore shall they that pursue[H7291] you be swift[H7043].
17. One[H259] thousand[H505] shall flee at[H6440] the threat[H1606] of one[H259]; at[H6440] the threat[H1606] of five[H2568] shall ye flee[H5127]: till ye be left[H3498] as a beacon[H8650] upon the top[H7218] of a mountain[H2022], and as an ensign[H5251] on a hill[H1389].
18. And therefore will Jehovah[H3068] wait[H2442], that he may be gracious[H2603] unto you[H7311]; and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy[H7355] upon you[H3068]: for Jehovah is a God[H430] of justice[H4941]; blessed[H835] are all they that wait for him[H2442].
19. For the people[H5971] shall dwell[H3427] in Zion[H6726] at Jerusalem[H3389]; thou shalt weep[H1058] no more[H1058]; he will surely[H2603] be gracious[H2603] unto thee at the voice[H6963] of thy cry[H2199]; when he shall hear[H8085], he will answer thee[H6030].
20. And though the Lord[H136] give[H5414] you the bread[H3899] of adversity[H6862] and the water[H4325] of affliction[H3906], yet shall not thy teachers[H3384] be hidden[H3670] anymore[H5869], but thine eyes shall see[H7200] thy teachers[H3384];
21. and thine ears[H241] shall hear[H8085] a word[H1697] behind[H310] thee[H559], saying, This is the way[H1870], walk ye in it[H3212]; when ye turn to the right hand[H541], and when ye turn to the left[H8041].
22. And ye shall defile[H2930] the overlaying[H6826] of thy graven images[H6456] of silver[H3701], and the plating[H642] of thy molten images[H4541] of gold[H2091]: thou shalt cast them away[H2219] as an unclean thing[H1739]; thou shalt say[H559] unto it[H3318], Get thee hence.
23. And he will give[H5414] the rain[H4306] for thy seed[H2233], wherewith thou shalt sow[H2232] the ground[H127]; and bread[H3899] of the increase[H8393] of the ground[H127], and it shall be fat[H1879] and plenteous[H8082]. In that day[H3117] shall thy cattle[H4735] feed[H7462] in large[H7337] pastures[H3733];
24. the oxen[H504] likewise and the young asses[H5895] that till[H5647] the ground[H127] shall eat[H398] savory[H2548] provender[H1098], which hath been winnowed[H2219] with the shovel[H7371] and with the fork[H4214].
25. And there shall be upon every lofty[H1364] mountain[H2022], and upon every high[H5375] hill[H1389], brooks[H6388] and streams[H2988] of waters[H4325], in the day[H3117] of the great[H7227] slaughter[H2027], when the towers[H4026] fall[H5307].
26. Moreover the light[H216] of the moon[H3842] shall be as the light[H216] of the sun[H2535], and the light[H216] of the sun[H2535] shall be sevenfold[H7659], as the light[H216] of seven[H7651] days[H3117], in the day[H3117] that Jehovah[H3068] bindeth up[H2280] the hurt[H7667] of his people[H5971], and healeth[H7495] the stroke[H4273] of their wound[H4347].
27. Behold[H8034], the name of Jehovah[H3068] cometh[H935] from far[H4801], burning[H1197] with his anger[H639], and in thick[H4858] rising smoke[H3514]: his lips[H8193] are full[H4390] of indignation[H2195], and his tongue[H3956] is as a devouring[H398] fire[H784];
28. and his breath[H7307] is as an overflowing[H7857] stream[H5158], that reacheth even unto[H2673] the neck[H6677], to sift[H5130] the nations[H1471] with the sieve[H5299] of destruction[H7723]: and a bridle[H7448] that causeth to err[H8582] shall be in the jaws[H3895] of the peoples[H5971].
29. Ye shall have a song[H7892] as in the night[H3915] when a holy[H6942] feast[H2282] is kept[H6942]; and gladness[H8057] of heart[H3824], as when one goeth[H1980] with a pipe[H2485] to come[H935] unto the mountain[H2022] of Jehovah[H3068], to the Rock[H6697] of Israel[H3478].
30. And Jehovah[H3068] will cause his glorious[H1935] voice[H6963] to be heard[H8085], and will show[H7200] the lighting down[H5183] of his arm[H2220], with the indignation[H2197] of his anger[H639], and the flame[H3851] of a devouring[H398] fire[H784], with a blast[H5311], and tempest[H2230], and hailstones[H68].
31. For through the voice[H6963] of Jehovah[H3068] shall the Assyrian[H804] be dismayed[H2865]; with his rod[H7626] will he smite him[H5221].
32. And every stroke[H3605] of the appointed[H4145] staff[H4294], which Jehovah[H3068] shall[H4569] lay[H5117] upon him[H8596], shall be with the sound of tabrets and harps[H3658]; and in battles[H4421] with the brandishing[H8573] of his arm will he fight with them[H3898].
33. For a Topheth[H8613] is prepared[H6186] of old[H865]; yea[H4428], for the king it is made ready[H3559]; he hath made it deep[H6009] and large[H7337]; the pile[H4071] thereof is fire[H784] and much[H7235] wood[H6086]; the breath[H5397] of Jehovah[H3068], like a stream[H5158] of brimstone[H1614], doth kindle it[H1197].
