Isaiah 30:12

30:12 For this reason this is what the Holy One of Israel says:

“You have rejected this message; ¹ 

you trust instead in your ability to oppress and trick, ² 

and rely on that kind of behavior. ³ 

[30:12]  ¹ tn The sentence actually begins with the word “because.” In the Hebrew text vv. 12-13 are one long sentence.

[30:12]  ² tn Heb “and you trust in oppression and cunning.”

[30:12]  ³ tn Heb “and you lean on it”; NAB “and depend on it.”
