Isaiah 30:8-14
New Living Translation
A Warning for Rebellious Judah
8 Now go and write down these words.
Write them in a book.
They will stand until the end of time
as a witness
9 that these people are stubborn rebels
who refuse to pay attention to the Lord’s instructions.
10 They tell the seers,
“Stop seeing visions!”
They tell the prophets,
“Don’t tell us what is right.
Tell us nice things.
Tell us lies.
11 Forget all this gloom.
Get off your narrow path.
Stop telling us about your
‘Holy One of Israel.’”
12 This is the reply of the Holy One of Israel:
“Because you despise what I tell you
and trust instead in oppression and lies,
13 calamity will come upon you suddenly—
like a bulging wall that bursts and falls.
In an instant it will collapse
and come crashing down.
14 You will be smashed like a piece of pottery—
shattered so completely that
there won’t be a piece big enough
to carry coals from a fireplace
or a little water from the well.”
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.”
