Isaiah 30:10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 Who say to the seers, “Do not see”;
to the prophets,[a] “Do not prophesy truth for us;
speak smooth things to us, see visions that deceive!(A)
Footnotes
- 30:10 Seers…prophets: the two terms are synonyms for prophetic figures such as Isaiah (1:1; 2:1; 6:1, 5). There is wordplay between the nouns and their cognate verbs, both of which mean “to see.” The authorities are depicted as forbidding prophets to contradict their secret political and military policies.
