Isaiah 30:12-17
Legacy Standard Bible
12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel,
“(A)Since you have rejected this word
And have put your trust in (B)oppression and deviousness and have relied on them,
13 Therefore this (C)iniquity will be to you
Like a (D)breach about to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose breaking comes (E)suddenly in an instant,
14 Whose breaking is like the breaking of a (F)potter’s jar,
[a]So ruthlessly shattered
That a potsherd will not be found among its pieces
To [b]take fire from a hearth
Or to scoop water from a cistern.”
15 For thus Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, has said,
“In [c]repentance and (G)rest you will be saved,
In (H)quietness and trust is your might.”
But you were not willing,
16 And you said, “No, for we will flee on (I)horses,”
Therefore you shall flee!
“And we will ride on swift horses,”
Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.
17 (J)One thousand will flee at the threat of one man;
You will flee at the threat of five,
Until you are left as a [d]flag on a mountain top
And as a [e]standard on a hill.
