Isaiah 30:6-11
New International Version
Isaiah 30:6-11
New International Version
6 A prophecy(A) concerning the animals of the Negev:(B)
Through a land of hardship and distress,(C)
of lions(D) and lionesses,
of adders and darting snakes,(E)
the envoys carry their riches on donkeys’(F) backs,
their treasures(G) on the humps of camels,
to that unprofitable nation,
7 to Egypt, whose help is utterly useless.(H)
Therefore I call her
Rahab(I) the Do-Nothing.
8 Go now, write it on a tablet(J) for them,
inscribe it on a scroll,(K)
that for the days to come
it may be an everlasting witness.(L)
9 For these are rebellious(M) people, deceitful(N) children,
children unwilling to listen to the Lord’s instruction.(O)
10 They say to the seers,(P)
“See no more visions(Q)!”
and to the prophets,
“Give us no more visions of what is right!
Tell us pleasant things,(R)
prophesy illusions.(S)
11 Leave this way,(T)
get off this path,
and stop confronting(U) us
with the Holy One(V) of Israel!”
Isaiah 30:6-11
King James Version
Isaiah 30:6-11
King James Version
6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.
7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.
8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
