Isaiah 30:9-11

The Voice

⁹ After all, these people are rebellious and distrustful.
    They won’t accept, don’t even pay attention
To what the Eternal has tried to tell them.
¹⁰ They say to those gifted with discernment and insight:
    “Stop with your visions. We’ve had enough of them.”
They say to the prophets, “Tell us only what we’d like to hear;
    save your truth-telling pessimism for someone else.
We want to hear flattery.
¹¹ And for goodness’ sake, stop talking about the Holy One of Israel.
    Get out of the gloomy rut you are in—
Your message is a bit stale—take a different path.”
