Isa 30
1 Woe on Relying upon Egypt
Woe, O children of defectors! Thus says
the LORD, You made counsel, but not through me; and treaties not by my spirit, to add sins upon sins.
2The ones going went down into Egypt (but of me they did not ask) to be helped by Pharaoh, and sheltered by
the Egyptians.
3[
5will be
1For
6to you
2the
3protection
4by Pharaoh] for shame, and the ones relying upon Egypt for scorn.
4For [
4are
2in
3Tanis
1chiefs
6messengers
5evil].
5In folly they labor over a people who shall not benefit them, neither for help, nor for benefit, but for shame, and scorn.
6 The Vision of the Four-footed
The vision of the four-footed, of the ones in the wilderness. In the affliction and in the straits
are the lion and [
2cub
1lion's]; from there also asps and
the progeny [
2asps
1of flying]; the ones who brought upon donkeys and camels of their riches to a nation who shall not benefit them for help, but for shame and scorn.
7The Egyptians [
3in vain
4and
5with emptiness
1shall benefit
2you]. Report to them that, [
4is vain
2comfort
3of yours
1This]!
8 The Calamitous Downfall
Now then
while sitting, write [
2upon
3a writing-tablet
1these
things], and upon a scroll, for [
2shall be
3for
4times
5of days
1these
things], and even into the eon.
9For a people are resisting persuasion; [
2sons
1lying] who were not willing to hear the law of God.
10The ones saying to the prophets, Do not announce to us! and to the ones [
2the
3visions
1that see], Do not speak to us, but speak to us, and announce to us another addicting delusion,
11and turn us from this way! Remove from us this road, and remove from us the oracle of Israel!
12On account of this, thus says
the LORD, the holy one of Israel, Because you resisted persuasion to these words, and hoped upon a lie, and that you grumbled, and [
2relying
1became] upon this word.
13Therefore this will be to you -- this sin
will be as a wall [
3falling
4immediately
2city
1of a fortified] being captured, of which immediately is at hand the calamitous downfall.
14And the calamitous downfall of it will be as
the breaking of a receptacle of earthenware of [
2clay vessel
1a thin], so that there should not be found among them
even a potsherd in which [
2coals of fire
1to lift], and with which to whistle up [
2water
1a little].
15Thus says
the Lord,
the LORD, the holy one of Israel, Whenever turning you should moan, then shall you be delivered. And you shall know where you were when you relied upon the vanities; [
3vain
1your strength
2became], and you did not want to hear.
16But you said, Upon horses we shall flee. On account of this you shall flee and say, [
2upon
3light
4riders
1we will be]; on account of this [
5nimble
4will be
1the ones
2pursuing
3you].
17On account of [
2voice
1one
4shall flee
3thousands]; and because of
the voice of five [
2shall flee
1many] until whenever you should be left behind as a mast upon a mountain, and as a flag borne upon a hill.
18 God is Merciful
And again [
2will wait
1God]
so as to pity you. And on account of this he shall be raised up high to show mercy on you, because [
4judge
1the LORD 2your God
3is]. Blessed
are all the ones adhering in him.
19For [
2people
1the holy
4in
5Zion
3shall live]. And Jerusalem in weeping wept,
saying, Show mercy on me! He shall show mercy on you. [
3the
4sound
5of your cry
1When
2he perceived] he heeded you.
20The LORD shall give to you bread of affliction, and [
2water
1scant]. And [
4no longer
5shall
6approach
7to you
1the ones
2misleading
3you]. For your eyes shall discover the ones misleading you,
21and your ears shall hearken to the words of the ones
following after you, misleading
you. The ones saying, This
is the way, we should go by it, whether right
or whether left.
22And you shall remove the idols being silver plated; and the ones being gilded [
2fine
dust 1you shall make
into]; and you shall winnow as
the water of a woman sitting apart, and [
3as
4dung
1you shall thrust
2them away].
23Then there will be rain for the seed of your land; and the bread from the produce of your land will be plenteous and lustrous; and [
3shall graze
1your
2cattle] in that day
in a place fertile and broad-spaced.
24 Your bulls and oxen working the ground shall eat straw being prepared from barley being winnowed.
25And there shall be upon every [
2mountain
1high], and upon every [
2hill
1elevated], water traveling over in that day, whenever [
2should be destroyed
1many], and whenever [
2shall fall
1towers].
26And [
5shall be
1the
2light
3of the
4moon] as the light of the sun; and the light of the sun will be seven-fold in the day whenever
the LORD should heal the breaking up of his people, and [
2the
3grief
4of your calamity
1shall heal].
27 Burning Rage
Behold, the name
the LORD comes after [
2time
1a long], burning rage with glory. The oracle of his lips
is an oracle [
2of anger
1full], and the anger of his rage [
2as
3fire
1shall devour].
28And his breath, as water [
2in
3a ravine
1being dragged along], shall come unto the neck, and be divided. He shall disturb nations for [
2addiction to a delusion
1a vain], and [
2shall pursue
3them
1an addiction to a delusion], and it shall take them according to their face.
29 [
3always
1Must
2you] be glad and enter into my holy places always, as
the ones solemnizing a holiday? and as ones being glad to enter with a pipe, into the mountain of
the LORD, to the God of Israel?
30And [
3audible
2will make
1the LORD] the glory of his voice; and the rage of his arm he will show with rage and anger. And
as a flame devouring he shall strike with a thunderbolt violently; even as water and hail being carried together by force.
31For by the voice of
the LORD the Assyrians shall be vanquished,
even by the calamity in which he should strike them.
32And it will be to him round about, from where was to him hope for help, upon whom he relied upon; they with tambourines and harps shall wage war on him from out of revolt.
33For you [
2before
3some days
1shall be exacted]; not also for you was it prepared to reign? [
2ravine
1a deep], wood being situated near a fire, and [
2wood
1much]; the rage of
the LORD as a ravine [
2under
3sulphur
1burning].
