Isaiah 30:20-22
International Standard Version
20 And although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water[a] of affliction, your teachers won’t hide themselves[b] anymore, but your own eyes will see your teachers. 21 And whether you turn to the right or turn to the left, your ears will hear a message behind you: “This is the way, walk in it.” 22 Then you will defile your carved idols that are overlaid with silver and your images plated with gold. You’ll throw them away like disgusting objects[c] and say to them, “Away with you!”

New International Version
20 Although the Lord gives you the bread(A) of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers(B) will be hidden(C) no more; with your own eyes you will see them. 21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice(D) behind you, saying, “This is the way;(E) walk in it.” 22 Then you will desecrate your idols(F) overlaid with silver and your images covered with gold;(G) you will throw them away like a menstrual(H) cloth and say to them, “Away with you!(I)”
