Isaiah 30 — Context

9

For this is a rebellious people, false sons, Sons who refuse to listen To the instruction of the LORD;

10

Who say to the seers, "You must not see visions"; And to the prophets, "You must not prophesy to us what is right, Speak to us pleasant words, Prophesy illusions.

11

"Get out of the way, turn aside from the path, Let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel."

12

Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, "Since you have rejected this word And have put your trust in oppression and guile, and have relied on them,

15

For thus the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said, "In repentance and rest you will be saved, In quietness and trust is your strength." But you were not willing,
