Isaiah 30 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Who proceed ^H1980 down ^H3381 to Egypt ^H4714

Without ^H3808 consulting ^H7592 [fn]Me,

To take ^H5756 refuge ^H5756 in the safety ^H4581 of Pharaoh ^H6547,

And to seek ^H2620 shelter ^H2620 in the shadow ^H6738 of Egypt ^H4714!

“Therefore the safety ^H4581 of Pharaoh ^H6547 will be your shame ^H1322,

And the shelter ^H2622 in the shadow ^H6738 of Egypt ^H4714, your humiliation ^H3639.

“For their officials ^H8269 are at Zoan ^H6814

And their ambassadors ^H4397 arrive ^H5060 at Hanes ^H2609.

“Everyone ^H3605 will be ^H954 ashamed ^H954 because ^H5921 of a people ^H5971 who do ^H3808 not benefit ^H3276 them,

Who are not a help ^H5828 or benefit ^H3276, but a source of shame ^H1322 and also ^H1571 disgrace ^H2781.”

The pronouncement ^H4853 concerning the animals ^H929 of the Negev ^H5045:

Through a land ^H776 of distress ^H6869 and anguish ^H6695,

From [fn]where ^H1992 come lioness ^H3833 and lion ^H3918, viper ^H660 and flying ^H5774 serpent ^H8314,

They carry ^H5375 their riches ^H2428 on the [fn]backs ^H3802 of young ^H5895 donkeys ^H5895,

And their treasures ^H214 on camels’ ^H1581 humps ^H1707,

To a people ^H5971 who will ^H3808 not benefit ^H3276 them;

Even Egypt ^H4714, whose help ^H5826 is vain ^H1892 and empty ^H7385.

Therefore ^H3651, I have called ^H7121 [fn]her

“[fn]Rahab ^H7294 who ^H1992 has been exterminated ^H7674.”

Now ^H6258 go ^H935, write ^H3789 it on a tablet ^H3871 in their presence ^H854

And inscribe ^H2710 it on a scroll ^H5612,

That it may [fn]serve ^H1961 in the time ^H3117 to come ^H314

[fn]As a witness forever ^H5704 H5769.

For this ^H1931 is a rebellious ^H4805 people ^H5971, false ^H3586 sons ^H1121,

Sons ^H1121 who [fn]refuse ^H3808 H14 to listen ^H8085

To the [fn]instruction ^H8451 of the LORD ^H3068;

Who ^H834 say ^H559 to the seers ^H7203, “You must not see ^H7200 visions”;

And to the prophets ^H2374, “You must not prophesy ^H2372 the truth ^H5228 to us.

Speak ^H1696 to us [fn]pleasant ^H2513 words ^H2513,

Prophesy ^H2372 illusions ^H4123.

“Get ^H5493 out ^H5493 of the way ^H1870, turn ^H5186 aside ^H5186 from the path ^H734,

Stop ^H7673 speaking before ^H6440 us about the Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918 of Israel ^H3478!”

Therefore ^H3651 this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918 of Israel ^H3478 says ^H559:

“Since ^H3282 you have rejected ^H3988 this ^H2088 word ^H1697

And have put ^H982 your trust ^H982 in oppression ^H6233 and crookedness ^H3868, and have relied ^H8172 on them,

Therefore ^H3651 this ^H2088 wrongdoing ^H5771 will be to you

Like a breach ^H6556 about to fall ^H5307,

A bulge ^H1158 in a high ^H7682 wall ^H2346,

Whose ^H834 collapse ^H7667 comes ^H935 suddenly ^H6597 in an instant ^H6621,

Whose collapse ^H7665 is like the smashing ^H7667 of a potter’s ^H3335 jar ^H5035,

[fn]So ruthlessly ^H3808 H2550 shattered ^H3807

That a shard ^H2789 will not be found ^H4672 among its pieces ^H4386

To [fn]take ^H2846 fire ^H784 from a hearth ^H3344

Or to scoop ^H2834 water ^H4325 from a cistern ^H1360.”

For this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the Lord ^H136 [fn]GOD ^H3068, the Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918 of Israel ^H3478, has said ^H559:

“In [fn]repentance ^H7729 and rest ^H5183 you will be saved ^H3467,

In quietness ^H8252 and trust ^H985 is your strength ^H1369.”

But you were ^H14 not willing ^H14,

And you said ^H559, “No ^H3808, for we will flee ^H5127 on horses ^H5483!”

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 you shall flee ^H5127!

“And we will ride ^H7392 on swift ^H7031 horses!”

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 those who pursue ^H7291 you shall be ^H7043 swift ^H7043.

One ^H259 thousand ^H505 will flee at the threat ^H1606 of one ^H259 man;

You will flee ^H5127 at the threat ^H1606 of five ^H2568,

Until ^H5704 H518 you are left ^H3498 like a signal ^H8650 post ^H8650 on a mountain ^H2022 top ^H7218,

And like a flag ^H5251 on a hill ^H1389.

Therefore ^H3651 the LORD ^H3068 [fn]longs ^H2442 to be ^H2603 gracious ^H2603 to you,

And therefore ^H3651 He [fn]waits ^H7311 on ^H7311 high ^H7311 to have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 you.

For the LORD ^H3068 is a God ^H430 of justice ^H4941;

How blessed ^H835 are all ^H3605 those who [fn]long ^H2442 for Him.

[fn]For, you people ^H5971 in Zion ^H6726, inhabitant ^H3427 in Jerusalem ^H3389, you will weep ^H1058 no ^H3808 longer ^H1058. He will certainly ^H2603 be ^H2603 gracious ^H2603 to you at the sound ^H6963 of your cry ^H2199; when He hears ^H8085 it, He will answer ^H6030 you.

Then He will give ^H5414 you rain ^H4306 for your seed ^H2233 which ^H834 you will sow ^H2232 in the ground ^H127, and bread ^H3899 from the yield ^H8393 of the ground ^H127, and it will be [fn]rich ^H1879 and [fn]plentiful ^H8082; on that day ^H3117 your livestock ^H4735 will graze ^H7462 in a wide ^H7337 pasture ^H3733.

Behold ^H2009, the name ^H8034 of the LORD ^H3068 comes ^H935 from a [fn]remote ^H4801 place ^H4801;

His anger ^H639 is burning ^H1197 and [fn]dense ^H3514 with [fn]smoke ^H4858;

His lips ^H8193 are filled ^H4390 with indignation ^H2195,

And His tongue ^H3956 is like a consuming ^H398 fire ^H784;

His breath ^H7307 is like an overflowing ^H7857 river ^H5158,

Which reaches ^H2673 to the neck ^H6677,

To shake ^H5130 the nations ^H1471 back ^H5130 and ^H5130 forth ^H5130 in a [fn]sieve ^H5299,

And to put in the jaws ^H3895 of the peoples ^H5971 the bridle ^H7448 which leads ^H8582 astray ^H8582.

You will have ^H1961 [fn]songs ^H7892 as in the night ^H3915 when you keep ^H6942 the festival ^H2282,

And gladness ^H8057 of heart ^H3824 as when one marches ^H1980 to the sound of the flute ^H2485,

To go ^H935 to the mountain ^H2022 of the LORD ^H3068, to the Rock ^H6697 of Israel ^H3478.

And the LORD ^H3068 will cause [fn]His voice ^H6963 of authority ^H1935 to be heard ^H8085,

And the [fn]descending ^H5183 of His arm ^H2220 to be seen ^H7200 in fierce ^H2197 anger ^H639,

And in the flame ^H3851 of a consuming ^H398 fire ^H784

In cloudburst ^H5311, downpour ^H2230, and hailstones.

For at the voice ^H6963 of the LORD ^H3068 Assyria ^H804 will be terrified ^H2865,

When He strikes ^H5221 with the rod ^H7626.

And every ^H3605 [fn]blow ^H4569 of the [fn]rod ^H4294 of punishment ^H4145,

Which ^H834 the LORD ^H3068 will lay ^H5117 on him,

Will be with the music of tambourines ^H8596 and lyres ^H3658;

And in battles ^H4421, brandishing ^H8573 weapons ^H8573, He will fight ^H3898 them.

For [fn]Topheth ^H8613 has long ^H865 been ready ^H6186,

Indeed ^H1571, it has been prepared ^H3559 for the king ^H4428.

He has made ^H6009 it deep ^H6009 and large ^H7337,

[fn]A pyre ^H4071 of fire ^H784 with plenty ^H7235 of wood ^H6086;

The breath ^H5397 of the LORD ^H3068, like a torrent ^H5158 of brimstone ^H1614, sets ^H1197 it afire ^H1197.
