Isaiah 30:15-18
Legacy Standard Bible
15 For thus Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, has said,
“In [a]repentance and (A)rest you will be saved,
In (B)quietness and trust is your might.”
But you were not willing,
16 And you said, “No, for we will flee on (C)horses,”
Therefore you shall flee!
“And we will ride on swift horses,”
Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.
17 (D)One thousand will flee at the threat of one man;
You will flee at the threat of five,
Until you are left as a [b]flag on a mountain top
And as a [c]standard on a hill.
Yahweh Is Gracious and Just
18 Therefore Yahweh (E)waits with longing to be gracious to you,
And therefore He is on (F)high to have compassion on you.
For Yahweh is a (G)God of justice;
How blessed are all those who (H)wait for Him.

Isaiah 30:15-18
American Standard Version
15 For thus said the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. And ye would not: 16 but ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift. 17 One thousand shall flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as [a]a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill.
18 And therefore will Jehovah wait, that he may be gracious unto you; and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for Jehovah is a God of justice; blessed are all they that wait for him.
