ISAIAH, PROPHECIES, REPROOFS, AND EXHORTATIONS OF

Isaiah 30:1-17

1. "Woe to the rebellious children", says The LORD, "who take counsel, but not from me; and who make an alliance, but not with my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,
2. who set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked my advice; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!
3. Therefore the strength of Pharaoh will be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4. For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors have come to Hanes.
5. They shall all be ashamed because of a people that can't profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach."
6. The burden of the animals of the South.Through the land of trouble and anguish, of the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches on the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to an unprofitable people.
7. For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose; therefore I have called her Rahab who sits still.
8. Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.
9. For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear The LORD's law;
10. who tell the seers, "Don't see!" and to the prophets, "Don't prophesy to us right things. Tell us pleasant things. Prophesy deceits.
11. Get out of the way. Turn aside from the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us."
12. Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, "Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it;
13. therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.
14. He will break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing, so that there won't be found among the broken piece a piece good enough to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern."
15. For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, "You will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence." You refused,
16. but you said, "No, for we will flee on horses"; therefore you will flee; and, "We will ride on the swift"; therefore those who pursue you will be swift.
17. One thousand will flee at the threat of one. At the threat of five, you will flee until you are left like a beacon on the top of a mountain, and like a banner on a hill.

Isaiah 31:1-6

1. Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help,and rely on horses,and trust in chariots because they are many,and in horsemen because they are very strong,but they don't look to the Holy One of Israel,and they don't seek The LORD!
2. Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster,and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers,and against the help of those who work iniquity.
3. Now the Egyptians are men, and not God;and their horses flesh, and not spirit.When the LORD stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble,and he who is helped shall fall,and they all shall be consumed together.
4. For the LORD says to me,"As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey,if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him,will not be dismayed at their voice,nor abase himself for their noise,so the LORD of Hosts will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.
5. As birds hovering, so the LORD of Hosts will protect Jerusalem.He will protect and deliver it.He will pass over and preserve it."
6. Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.
