Isaiah 30:8-14
Legacy Standard Bible
8 Now go, (A)write it on a tablet before them
And inscribe it on a scroll,
That it may be in the time to come
[a]As a witness forever.
9 For this is a (B)rebellious people, (C)false sons,
Sons who are not willing to (D)listen
To the law of Yahweh,
10 Who say to the (E)seers, “You must not see,”
And to those who have visions, “You must not (F)behold visions for us of what is right,
(G)Speak to us [b]pleasant words,
Behold visions of illusions.
11 Get out of the way, (H)turn aside from the path,
[c](I)Cease speaking before us about the Holy One of Israel.”
12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel,
“(J)Since you have rejected this word
And have put your trust in (K)oppression and deviousness and have relied on them,
13 Therefore this (L)iniquity will be to you
Like a (M)breach about to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose breaking comes (N)suddenly in an instant,
14 Whose breaking is like the breaking of a (O)potter’s jar,
[d]So ruthlessly shattered
That a potsherd will not be found among its pieces
To [e]take fire from a hearth
Or to scoop water from a cistern.”

New International Version
Isaiah 30:8-14
New International Version
8 Go now, write it on a tablet(A) for them,
inscribe it on a scroll,(B)
that for the days to come
it may be an everlasting witness.(C)
9 For these are rebellious(D) people, deceitful(E) children,
children unwilling to listen to the Lord’s instruction.(F)
10 They say to the seers,(G)
“See no more visions(H)!”
and to the prophets,
“Give us no more visions of what is right!
Tell us pleasant things,(I)
prophesy illusions.(J)
11 Leave this way,(K)
get off this path,
and stop confronting(L) us
with the Holy One(M) of Israel!”
12 Therefore this is what the Holy One(N) of Israel says:
“Because you have rejected this message,(O)
relied on oppression(P)
and depended on deceit,
13 this sin will become for you
like a high wall,(Q) cracked and bulging,
that collapses(R) suddenly,(S) in an instant.
14 It will break in pieces like pottery,(T)
shattered so mercilessly
that among its pieces not a fragment will be found
for taking coals from a hearth
or scooping water out of a cistern.”
