Isaiah 30:9-11
New English Translation
9 For these are rebellious people—
they are lying children,
children unwilling to obey the Lord’s law.[a]
10 They[b] say to the visionaries, “See no more visions!”
and to the seers, “Don’t relate messages to us about what is right![c]
Tell us nice things;
relate deceptive messages.[d]
11 Turn aside from the way;
stray off the path.[e]
Remove from our presence the Holy One of Israel.”[f]
