Isaiah 30:15-17

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁵ This is what the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, says:
    If you repent and wait quietly, you will be saved.
    Your strength will depend on quietness and trust.
But you refused.
¹⁶ You said, “No, we will flee on horseback!”
Yes indeed, you will flee.
You said, “We will ride away swiftly!”
Yes indeed, you will be pursued swiftly.
¹⁷ A thousand will flee when just one threatens.
When five threaten, you will flee,
until you are like a single flag, fluttering on a mountaintop,
like a lonely banner on a hill.
