Isaiah 30:8-14
New American Standard Bible
8 Now go, (A)write it on a tablet in their presence
And inscribe it on a scroll,
That it may [a]serve in the time to come
[b]As a witness forever.
9 For this is a (B)rebellious people, (C)false sons,
Sons who [c]refuse to (D)listen
To the [d]instruction of the Lord;
10 Who say to the (E)seers, “You must not see visions”;
And to the prophets, “You must not (F)prophesy the truth to us.
(G)Speak to us [e]pleasant words,
Prophesy illusions.
11 Get out of the way, (H)turn aside from the path,
(I)Stop speaking before us about the Holy One of Israel!”
12 Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says:
“(J)Since you have rejected this word
And have put your trust in (K)oppression and crookedness, and have relied on them,
13 Therefore this (L)wrongdoing will be to you
Like a (M)breach about to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose collapse comes (N)suddenly in an instant,
14 Whose collapse is like the smashing of a (O)potter’s jar,
[f]So ruthlessly shattered
That a shard will not be found among its pieces
To [g]take fire from a hearth
Or to scoop water from a cistern.”

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
A Rebellious People
8 Go now, write it before them on a tablet,
and inscribe it on a scroll,
so that it may be for the time to come
as a witness forever.(A)
9 For they are a rebellious people,
faithless children,
children who will not hear
the instruction of the Lord;(B)
10 who say to the seers, “Do not see,”
and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us what is right;
speak to us smooth things;
prophesy illusions;(C)
11 leave the way; turn aside from the path;
let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.”(D)
12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel:
Because you reject this word
and put your trust in oppression and deceit
and rely on them,(E)
13 therefore this iniquity shall become for you
like a break in a high wall, bulging out and about to collapse,
whose crash comes suddenly, in an instant;(F)
14 its breaking is like that of a potter’s vessel
that is smashed so ruthlessly
that among its fragments not a sherd is found
for taking fire from the hearth
or dipping water out of the cistern.(G)
