Judah Warned against Egyptian Alliance

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:1 -

“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD,

“Who execute a plan, but not Mine,

And [fn]make an alliance, but not of My Spirit,

In order to add sin to sin;

Who proceed down to Egypt

Without consulting [fn]Me,

To take refuge in the safety of Pharaoh,

And to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt!

The pronouncement concerning the animals of the Negev:

Through a land of distress and anguish,

From [fn]where come lioness and lion, viper and flying serpent,

And their treasures on camels’ humps,

To a people who will not benefit them;

Therefore, I have called [fn]her

[fn]Rahab who has been exterminated.”

Sons who [fn]refuse to listen

“Since you have rejected this word

And have put your trust in oppression and crookedness, and have relied on them,

Like a breach about to fall,

A bulge in a high wall,

Whose collapse comes suddenly in an instant,

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:14 -

Whose collapse is like the smashing of a potter’s jar,

[fn]So ruthlessly shattered

That a shard will not be found among its pieces

To [fn]take fire from a hearth

Or to scoop water from a cistern.”

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:15 -

In quietness and trust is your strength.”

Behold, the name of the LORD comes from a [fn]remote place;

His anger is burning and [fn]dense with [fn]smoke;

And His tongue is like a consuming fire;

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:28 -

His breath is like an overflowing river,

Which reaches to the neck,

To shake the nations back and forth in a [fn]sieve,

And to put in the jaws of the peoples the bridle which leads astray.

You will have [fn]songs as in the night when you keep the festival,

And gladness of heart as when one marches to the sound of the flute,

To go to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.

In cloudburst, downpour, and hailstones.

When He strikes with the rod.

Which the LORD will lay on him,

Will be with the music of tambourines and lyres;

And in battles, brandishing weapons, He will fight them.

For [fn]Topheth has long been ready,

Indeed, it has been prepared for the king.

He has made it deep and large,

The breath of the LORD, like a torrent of brimstone, sets it afire.
