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.

Lexham English Bible
15 For the Lord Yahweh, the holy one of Israel, said this:
“In returning and rest you shall be saved;
your strength shall be in quietness and in trust.”
But[a] you were not willing, 16 and you said,
“No! For we will flee on horses!”[b] Therefore you shall flee!
And, “We will ride on swift horses!”[c] Therefore your pursuers shall be swift!
17 One thousand because of[d] a threat of one,
because[e] of a threat of five you shall flee,
until you are left like a flagstaff on top[f] of a mountain,
and like a signal on a hill.
Yahweh Will Show Mercy
18 Therefore Yahweh waits to be gracious to you,
and therefore he will rise up to show you mercy,
for Yahweh is a God of justice;
blessed are all those who wait for him.
