Isaiah 30:6-11
New American Standard Bible
6 The pronouncement concerning the (A)animals of the (B)Negev:
Through a land of (C)distress and anguish,
From [a]where come lioness and lion, viper and (D)flying serpent,
They (E)carry their riches on the [b]backs of young donkeys,
And their treasures on (F)camels’ humps,
To a people who will not benefit them;
7 Even Egypt, whose (G)help is vain and empty.
Therefore, I have called [c]her
“[d](H)Rahab who has been exterminated.”
8 Now go, (I)write it on a tablet in their presence
And inscribe it on a scroll,
That it may [e]serve in the time to come
[f]As a witness forever.
9 For this is a (J)rebellious people, (K)false sons,
Sons who [g]refuse to (L)listen
To the [h]instruction of the Lord;
10 Who say to the (M)seers, “You must not see visions”;
And to the prophets, “You must not (N)prophesy the truth to us.
(O)Speak to us [i]pleasant words,
Prophesy illusions.
11 Get out of the way, (P)turn aside from the path,
(Q)Stop speaking before us about the Holy One of Israel!”
