Texts -- Isaiah 30:1-33 (NET)

Context
Egypt Will Prove Unreliable
30:1 “The rebellious children are as good as dead,” says the Lord , “those who make plans without consulting me, who form alliances without consulting my Spirit , and thereby compound their sin . 30:2 They travel down to Egypt without seeking my will, seeking Pharaoh’s protection , and looking for safety in Egypt’s protective shade . 30:3 But Pharaoh’s protection will bring you nothing but shame , and the safety of Egypt’s protective shade nothing but humiliation . 30:4 Though his officials are in Zoan and his messengers arrive at Hanes , 30:5 all will be put to shame because of a nation that cannot help them, who cannot give them aid or help , but only shame and disgrace .” 30:6 This is a message about the animals in the Negev : Through a land of distress and danger , inhabited by lionesses and roaring lions , by snakes and darting adders , they transport their wealth on the backs of donkeys , their riches on the humps of camels , to a nation that cannot help them. 30:7 Egypt is totally incapable of helping . For this reason I call her ‘Proud one who is silenced .’” 30:8 Now go , write it down on a tablet in their presence , inscribe it on a scroll , so that it might be preserved for a future time as an enduring witness . 30:9 For these are rebellious people – they are lying children , children unwilling to obey the Lord’s law . 30:10 They say to the visionaries , “See no more visions!” and to the seers , “Don’t relate messages to us about what is right ! Tell us nice things , relate deceptive messages. 30:11 Turn aside from the way , stray off the path . Remove from our presence the Holy One of Israel .” 30:12 For this reason this is what the Holy One of Israel says : “You have rejected this message ; you trust instead in your ability to oppress and trick , and rely on that kind of behavior. 30:13 So this sin will become your downfall . You will be like a high wall that bulges and cracks and is ready to collapse ; it crumbles suddenly , in a flash . 30:14 It shatters in pieces like a clay jar , so shattered to bits that none of it can be salvaged . Among its fragments one cannot find a shard large enough to scoop a hot coal from a fire or to skim off water from a cistern .” 30:15 For this is what the master , the Lord , the Holy One of Israel says : “If you repented and patiently waited for me, you would be delivered ; if you calmly trusted in me you would find strength , but you are unwilling . 30:16 You say , ‘No , we will flee on horses ,’ so you will indeed flee . You say, ‘We will ride on fast horses,’ so your pursuers will be fast . 30:17 One thousand will scurry at the battle cry of one enemy soldier; at the battle cry of five enemy soldiers you will all run away , until the remaining few are as isolated as a flagpole on a mountaintop or a signal flag on a hill .”
The Lord Will Not Abandon His People
30:18 For this reason the Lord is ready to show you mercy ; he sits on his throne , ready to have compassion on you. Indeed , the Lord is a just God ; all who wait for him in faith will be blessed . 30:19 For people will live in Zion ; in Jerusalem you will weep no more. When he hears your cry of despair , he will indeed show you mercy ; when he hears it, he will respond to you. 30:20 The sovereign master will give you distress to eat and suffering to drink ; but your teachers will no longer be hidden ; your eyes will see them . 30:21 You will hear a word spoken behind you, saying , “This is the correct way , walk in it,” whether you are heading to the right or the left . 30:22 You will desecrate your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images . You will throw them away as if they were a menstrual rag , saying to them, “Get out !” 30:23 He will water the seed you plant in the ground , and the ground will produce crops in abundance . At that time your cattle will graze in wide pastures . 30:24 The oxen and donkeys used in plowing will eat seasoned feed winnowed with a shovel and pitchfork . 30:25 On every high mountain and every high hill there will be streams flowing with water , at the time of great slaughter when the fortified towers collapse . 30:26 The light of the full moon will be like the sun’s glare and the sun’s glare will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days , when the Lord binds up his people’s fractured bones and heals their severe wound . 30:27 Look , the name of the Lord comes from a distant place in raging anger and awesome splendor . He speaks angrily and his word is like destructive fire . 30:28 His battle cry overwhelms like a flooding river that reaches one’s neck . He shakes the nations in a sieve that isolates the chaff ; he puts a bit into the mouth of the nations and leads them to destruction . 30:29 You will sing as you do in the evening when you are celebrating a festival . You will be happy like one who plays a flute as he goes to the mountain of the Lord , the Rock who shelters Israel . 30:30 The Lord will give a mighty shout and intervene in power , with furious anger and flaming , destructive fire , with a driving rainstorm and hailstones . 30:31 Indeed , the Lord’s shout will shatter Assyria ; he will beat them with a club . 30:32 Every blow from his punishing cudgel , with which the Lord will beat them, will be accompanied by music from the tambourine and harp , and he will attack them with his weapons . 30:33 For the burial place is already prepared ; it has been made deep and wide for the king . The firewood is piled high on it. The Lord’s breath , like a stream flowing with brimstone , will ignite it.
