Isaiah 30:17-19
International Standard Version
17 A thousand will flee at the threat of one;
and run away, pursued by[a] five,
until you are left
like a flagpole on a mountaintop,[b]
like a banner on a hill.”
Restoration is Promised to Israel
18 “Nevertheless, the Lord will wait
so he can be gracious to you;
and thus he will rise up to show you mercy.
For the Lord is a God of justice.
How blessed are all those who wait for him.”
19 Indeed, you people who live in Zion and in Jerusalem,[c] you[d] will weep no more. How gracious the Lord[e] will be to you at the sound of your cry! As soon as he hears it, he will answer you.
