Isaiah 30
Contemporary English Version

Don't Expect Help from Egypt

30 This is the Lord's message for his rebellious people:

“You follow your own plans
    instead of mine;
you make treaties
without asking me,
    and you keep on sinning.
2 You trust Egypt for protection.
    So you refuse my advice
and send messengers to Egypt
    to beg their king for help.

3 “You will be disappointed,
completely disgraced
    for trusting Egypt.
4 The king's power reaches
from the city of Zoan
    as far south as Hanes.[a]
5 But Egypt can't protect you,
and to trust that nation
    is useless and foolish.”

6 This is a message
about the animals
    of the Southern Desert:
“You people carry treasures
    on donkeys and camels.
You travel to a feeble nation
through a troublesome desert
    filled with lions
    and flying fiery dragons.
7 Egypt can't help you!
That's why I call that nation
    a helpless monster.”[b]

Israel Refuses To Listen

8 The Lord told me to write down his message for his people, so that it would be there forever. 9 They have turned against the Lord and can't be trusted. They have refused his teaching 10 and have said to his messengers and prophets:

Don't tell us what God has shown you and don't preach the truth. Just say what we want to hear, even if it's false. 11 Stop telling us what God has said! We don't want to hear any more about the holy One of Israel.

12 Now this is the answer
    of the holy One of Israel:
“You rejected my message,
and you trust in violence
    and lies.
13 This sin is like a crack
    that makes a high wall
quickly crumble 14 and shatter
    like a crushed bowl.
There's not a piece left
big enough to carry hot coals
    or to dip out water.”

Trust the Lord

15 The holy Lord God of Israel
    had told all of you,
“I will keep you safe
if you turn back to me
    and calm down.
I will make you strong
    if you quietly trust me.”

Then you stubbornly 16 said,
“No! We will safely escape
    on speedy horses.”

But those who chase you
    will be even faster.
17 As few as five of them,
or even one, will be enough
    to chase a thousand of you.
Finally, all that will be left
    will be a few survivors
as lonely as a flag pole
    on a barren hill.

The Lord Will Show Mercy

18 The Lord God is waiting
to show how kind he is
    and to have pity on you.
The Lord always does right;
he blesses those who trust him.

19 People of Jerusalem, you don't need to cry anymore. The Lord is kind, and as soon as he hears your cries for help, he will come. 20 The Lord has given you trouble and sorrow as your food and drink. But now you will again see the Lord, your teacher, and he will guide you. 21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, you will hear a voice saying, “This is the road! Now follow it.” 22 Then you will treat your idols of silver and gold like garbage; you will throw them away like filthy rags.

23 The Lord will send rain to water the seeds you have planted—your fields will produce more crops than you need, and your cattle will graze in open pastures. 24 Even the oxen and donkeys that plow your fields will be fed the finest grain.[c]

25 On that day people will be slaughtered and towers destroyed, but streams of water will flow from high hills and towering mountains. 26 Then the Lord will bandage his people's injuries and heal the wounds he has caused. The moon will shine as bright as the sun, and the sun will shine seven times brighter than usual. It will be like the light of seven days all at once.

Assyria Will Be Punished

27 The Lord is coming
    from far away
with his fiery anger
    and thick clouds of smoke.[d]
His angry words flame up
    like a destructive fire;
28 he breathes out a flood
    that comes up to the neck.
He sifts the nations
    and destroys them.
Then he puts a bridle
in every foreigner's mouth
    and leads them to doom.

29 The Lord's people will sing as they do when they celebrate a religious festival[e] at night. The Lord is Israel's mighty rock,[f] and his people will be as happy as they are when they follow the sound of flutes to the mountain where he is worshiped.

30 The Lord will get furious. His fearsome voice will be heard, his arm will be seen ready to strike, and his anger will be like a destructive fire, followed by thunderstorms and hailstones. 31 When the Assyrians hear the Lord's voice and see him striking with his iron rod, they will be terrified. 32 He will attack them in battle, and each time he strikes them, it will be to the music of tambourines and harps.

33 Long ago the Lord got a place ready for burning the body of the dead king.[g] The place for the fire is deep and wide, the wood is piled high, and the Lord will start the fire by breathing out flaming sulfur.

Isaías 30
Nueva Biblia de las Américas

Alianza inútil con Egipto

30 «¡Ay de los hijos rebeldes(A)», declara el Señor,
«Que ejecutan planes(B), pero no los Míos,
Y hacen alianza[a](C), pero no según[b] Mi Espíritu,
Para añadir pecado sobre pecado!
2 -»Los que descienden a Egipto(D)
Sin consultarme[c](E),
Para refugiarse al amparo de Faraón,
Y buscar abrigo[d] a la sombra de Egipto(F).
3 -»Por tanto, el amparo de Faraón será su vergüenza(G),
Y el abrigo[e] a la sombra de Egipto, su humillación.
4 -»Porque sus príncipes están en Zoán(H),
Y sus embajadores llegan a Hanes.
5 -»Todos se avergonzarán(I) a causa de un pueblo que no les trae provecho,
No les sirve de ayuda(J) ni de utilidad, sino de vergüenza y también de oprobio».
6 ¶Oráculo[f] sobre[g] las bestias(K) del Neguev[h](L).
Por tierra de tribulación y angustia(M),
De donde[i] vienen la leona y el león, la víbora y la serpiente voladora(N),
Llevan sus riquezas sobre lomos[j] de pollinos(O)
Y sus tesoros sobre lomos de camellos(P),
A un pueblo que no les traerá provecho,
7 O sea, a Egipto, cuya ayuda es vana y vacía(Q).
Por tanto lo[k] he llamado
Rahab[l](R) el destruido[m].
8 Ahora ve, escríbelo en una tablilla(S) delante de ellos
Y grábalo en un rollo,
Para que sirva[n] en el día postrero
Como testigo para siempre[o].
9 Porque este es un pueblo rebelde, hijos falsos(T),
Hijos que no quieren escuchar(U)
La instrucción[p] del Señor;
10 Que dicen a los videntes(V): «No vean visiones»;
Y a los profetas: «No nos profeticen lo que es recto(W),
Dígannos palabras agradables[q](X),
Profeticen ilusiones.
11 -»Apártense del camino, desvíense de la senda(Y),
No oigamos más acerca del[r] Santo de Israel(Z)».
12 Por tanto, así dice el Santo de Israel:
«Ya que han desechado esta palabra(AA),
Y han confiado en la opresión y en el engaño(AB), y se han apoyado en ellos,
13 Por eso esta iniquidad(AC) será para ustedes
Como muro agrietado[s] a punto de caer(AD),
Como abultamiento en una pared alta,
Cuya caída viene de repente, en un instante(AE).
14 -»Su caída es como el romper de una vasija de alfarero(AF),
Despedazada sin piedad[t];
No se halla entre sus pedazos ni un tiesto
Para tomar fuego del hogar
O para sacar agua de una cisterna».
15 Porque así ha dicho el Señor Dios[u], el Santo de Israel:
«En arrepentimiento[v] y en reposo(AG) serán salvos;
En quietud y confianza(AH) está su poder».
Pero ustedes no quisieron,
16 Y dijeron: «No, porque huiremos a caballo(AI)».
Por tanto, huirán.
Y: «Sobre corceles veloces cabalgaremos».
Por tanto, serán veloces los que los persigan.
17 Mil huirán(AJ) ante la amenaza de uno solo;
Ante la amenaza de cinco huirán,
Hasta que sean dejados como una enseña[w] en la cima de un monte,
Y como señal[x] sobre una colina.

Promesa de bendición para Israel

18 ¶Por tanto, el Señor desea tener piedad de ustedes(AK),
Y por eso se levantará(AL) para tener compasión de ustedes.
Porque el Señor es un Dios de justicia(AM);
¡Cuán bienaventurados son todos los que en Él esperan(AN)!

19 Oh pueblo de Sión, morador(AO) de Jerusalén[y], no llorarás más(AP). Ciertamente Dios se apiadará de ti a la voz de tu clamor. Cuando la oiga, te responderá(AQ). 20 Aunque el Señor les ha dado pan de escasez y agua de opresión(AR), Él, tu Maestro, no se esconderá más(AS), sino que tus propios ojos contemplarán a tu Maestro. 21 Tus oídos oirán detrás de ti estas palabras: «Este es el camino(AT), anden en él», ya sea que vayan(AU) a la derecha o a la izquierda. 22 Entonces profanarás tus imágenes talladas recubiertas de plata, y tus imágenes fundidas revestidas de oro(AV). Las esparcirás como cosa inmunda, y les[z] dirás: «¡Fuera de aquí(AW)!».

23 Y Él te dará lluvia para la[aa] semilla que siembres en la tierra, y el pan del producto de la tierra(AX) será rico[ab] y abundante[ac]. En aquel día tus ganados serán apacentados en espaciosos pastizales[ad](AY). 24 También los bueyes y los asnos que labran la tierra comerán forraje con sal, que ha sido aventado[ae] con pala y con bieldo(AZ). 25 Sobre todo monte alto y sobre toda colina elevada habrá arroyos de aguas perennes[af](BA) el día de la gran matanza(BB), cuando caigan las torres. 26 La luz de la luna será como la luz del sol(BC), y la luz del sol será siete veces mayor, como la luz de siete días, el día que el Señor(BD) ponga una venda en la fractura(BE) de Su pueblo y cure(BF) la llaga que Él ha causado[ag].

27 ¶Miren, el nombre del Señor viene de lejos[ah](BG);
Ardiente es Su ira, y denso[ai] es Su humo[aj](BH).
Sus labios están llenos de indignación(BI),
Su lengua es como fuego consumidor(BJ),
28 Y Su aliento como un torrente desbordado(BK)
Que llega hasta el cuello(BL),
Para zarandear a las naciones en una zaranda de destrucción[ak](BM),
Y poner la brida que conduce a la ruina[al](BN) en las mandíbulas de los pueblos.
29 Ustedes tendrán cánticos[am] como en la noche sagrada de fiesta,
Y alegría de corazón como cuando uno marcha al son de la[an] flauta,
Para ir al monte del Señor, a la Roca de Israel.
30 Y el Señor hará oír la majestad de Su voz,
Y dejará ver la descarga de Su brazo
Con furia de ira y llama de fuego consumidor,
Con turbión, aguacero y piedra de granizo.
31 Porque a la voz(BO) del Señor, Asiria se aterrará(BP),
Cuando Él la hiera con la vara(BQ).
32 Y cada golpe[ao] de la vara de castigo[ap](BR)
Que el Señor descargue sobre ella,
Será al son de[aq] panderos y liras(BS);
Y en batallas, blandiendo armas(BT), Él peleará contra ellos[ar].
33 Porque Tofet[as](BU) está preparado desde hace tiempo,
Ciertamente, ha sido dispuesto para el rey.
Él lo ha hecho profundo y ancho,
Una pira[at] de fuego con abundante leña;
El soplo del Señor, como torrente(BV) de azufre(BW), lo enciende.

New King James Version

Futile Confidence in Egypt

30 “Woe to the rebellious children,” says the Lord,
(A)“Who take counsel, but not of Me,
And who [a]devise plans, but not of My Spirit,
(B)That they may add sin to sin;
2 (C)Who walk to go down to Egypt,
And (D)have not asked My advice,
To strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh,
And to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 (E)Therefore the strength of Pharaoh
Shall be your shame,
And trust in the shadow of Egypt
Shall be your humiliation.
4 For his princes were at (F)Zoan,
And his ambassadors came to Hanes.
5 (G)They were all ashamed of a people who could not benefit them,
Or be help or benefit,
But a shame and also a reproach.”

6 (H)The [b]burden against the beasts of the South.

Through a land of trouble and anguish,
From which came the lioness and lion,
(I)The viper and fiery flying serpent,
They will carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys,
And their treasures on the humps of camels,
To a people who shall not profit;
7 (J)For the Egyptians shall help in vain and to no purpose.
Therefore I have called her
[c]Rahab-Hem-Shebeth.

A Rebellious People

8 Now go, (K)write it before them on a tablet,
And note it on a scroll,
That it may be for time to come,
Forever and ever:
9 That (L)this is a rebellious people,
Lying children,
Children who will not hear the law of the Lord;
10 (M)Who say to the seers, “Do not see,”
And to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us right things;
(N)Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits.
11 Get out of the way,
Turn aside from the path,
Cause the Holy One of Israel
To cease from before us.”

12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel:

“Because you (O)despise this word,
And trust in oppression and perversity,
And rely on them,
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you
(P)Like a breach ready to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose breaking (Q)comes suddenly, in an instant.
14 And (R)He shall break it like the breaking of the potter’s vessel,
Which is broken in pieces;
He shall not spare.
So there shall not be found among its fragments
[d]A shard to take fire from the hearth,
Or to take water from the cistern.”

15 For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel:

(S)“In returning and rest you shall be saved;
In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.”
(T)But you would not,
16 And you said, “No, for we will flee on horses”—
Therefore you shall flee!
And, “We will ride on swift horses”—
Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift!

17 (U)One thousand shall flee at the threat of one,
At the threat of five you shall flee,
Till you are left as a [e]pole on top of a mountain
And as a banner on a hill.

God Will Be Gracious

18 Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be (V)gracious to you;
And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you.
For the Lord is a God of justice;
(W)Blessed are all those who (X)wait for Him.

19 For the people (Y)shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem;
You shall (Z)weep no more.
He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry;
When He hears it, He will (AA)answer you.
20 And though the Lord gives you
(AB)The bread of adversity and the water of [f]affliction,
Yet (AC)your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore,
But your eyes shall see your teachers.
21 Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying,
“This is the way, walk in it,”
Whenever you (AD)turn to the right hand
Or whenever you turn to the left.
22 (AE)You will also defile the covering of your images of silver,
And the ornament of your molded images of gold.
You will throw them away as an unclean thing;
(AF)You will say to them, “Get away!”

23 (AG)Then He will give the rain for your seed
With which you sow the ground,
And bread of the increase of the earth;
It will be [g]fat and plentiful.
In that day your cattle will feed
In large pastures.
24 Likewise the oxen and the young donkeys that work the ground
Will eat cured fodder,
Which has been winnowed with the shovel and fan.
25 There will be (AH)on every high mountain
And on every high hill
Rivers and streams of waters,
In the day of the (AI)great slaughter,
When the towers fall.
26 Moreover (AJ)the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun,
And the light of the sun will be sevenfold,
As the light of seven days,
In the day that the Lord binds up the bruise of His people
And heals the stroke of their wound.

Judgment on Assyria

27 Behold, the name of the Lord comes from afar,
Burning with His anger,
And His burden is heavy;
His lips are full of indignation,
And His tongue like a devouring fire.
28 (AK)His breath is like an overflowing stream,
(AL)Which reaches up to the neck,
To sift the nations with the sieve of futility;
And there shall be (AM)a bridle in the jaws of the people,
Causing them to err.

29 You shall have a song
As in the night when a holy festival is kept,
And gladness of heart as when one goes with a flute,
To come into (AN)the mountain of the Lord,
To [h]the Mighty One of Israel.
30 (AO)The Lord will cause His glorious voice to be heard,
And show the descent of His arm,
With the indignation of His anger
And the flame of a devouring fire,
With scattering, tempest, (AP)and hailstones.
31 For (AQ)through the voice of the Lord
Assyria will be [i]beaten down,
As He strikes with the (AR)rod.
32 And in every place where the staff of punishment passes,
Which the Lord lays on him,
It will be with tambourines and harps;
And in battles of (AS)brandishing He will fight with it.
33 (AT)For Tophet was established of old,
Yes, for the king it is prepared.
He has made it deep and large;
Its pyre is fire with much wood;
The breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone,
Kindles it.

Woe to the Obstinate Nation

30 “Woe(A) to the obstinate children,”(B)
    declares the Lord,
“to those who carry out plans that are not mine,
    forming an alliance,(C) but not by my Spirit,
    heaping sin upon sin;
2 who go down to Egypt(D)
    without consulting(E) me;
who look for help to Pharaoh’s protection,(F)
    to Egypt’s shade for refuge.(G)
3 But Pharaoh’s protection will be to your shame,
    Egypt’s shade(H) will bring you disgrace.(I)
4 Though they have officials in Zoan(J)
    and their envoys have arrived in Hanes,
5 everyone will be put to shame
    because of a people(K) useless(L) to them,
who bring neither help(M) nor advantage,
    but only shame and disgrace.(N)”

6 A prophecy(O) concerning the animals of the Negev:(P)

Through a land of hardship and distress,(Q)
    of lions(R) and lionesses,
    of adders and darting snakes,(S)
the envoys carry their riches on donkeys’(T) backs,
    their treasures(U) on the humps of camels,
to that unprofitable nation,
7     to Egypt, whose help is utterly useless.(V)
Therefore I call her
    Rahab(W) the Do-Nothing.

8 Go now, write it on a tablet(X) for them,
    inscribe it on a scroll,(Y)
that for the days to come
    it may be an everlasting witness.(Z)
9 For these are rebellious(AA) people, deceitful(AB) children,
    children unwilling to listen to the Lord’s instruction.(AC)
10 They say to the seers,(AD)
    “See no more visions(AE)!”
and to the prophets,
    “Give us no more visions of what is right!
Tell us pleasant things,(AF)
    prophesy illusions.(AG)
11 Leave this way,(AH)
    get off this path,
and stop confronting(AI) us
    with the Holy One(AJ) of Israel!”

12 Therefore this is what the Holy One(AK) of Israel says:

“Because you have rejected this message,(AL)
    relied on oppression(AM)
    and depended on deceit,
13 this sin will become for you
    like a high wall,(AN) cracked and bulging,
    that collapses(AO) suddenly,(AP) in an instant.
14 It will break in pieces like pottery,(AQ)
    shattered so mercilessly
that among its pieces not a fragment will be found
    for taking coals from a hearth
    or scooping water out of a cistern.”

15 This is what the Sovereign(AR) Lord, the Holy One(AS) of Israel, says:

“In repentance and rest(AT) is your salvation,
    in quietness and trust(AU) is your strength,
    but you would have none of it.(AV)
16 You said, ‘No, we will flee(AW) on horses.’(AX)
    Therefore you will flee!
You said, ‘We will ride off on swift horses.’
    Therefore your pursuers will be swift!
17 A thousand will flee
    at the threat of one;
at the threat of five(AY)
    you will all flee(AZ) away,
till you are left(BA)
    like a flagstaff on a mountaintop,
    like a banner(BB) on a hill.”

18 Yet the Lord longs(BC) to be gracious to you;
    therefore he will rise up to show you compassion.(BD)
For the Lord is a God of justice.(BE)
    Blessed are all who wait for him!(BF)

19 People of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more.(BG) How gracious he will be when you cry for help!(BH) As soon as he hears, he will answer(BI) you. 20 Although the Lord gives you the bread(BJ) of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers(BK) will be hidden(BL) no more; with your own eyes you will see them. 21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice(BM) behind you, saying, “This is the way;(BN) walk in it.” 22 Then you will desecrate your idols(BO) overlaid with silver and your images covered with gold;(BP) you will throw them away like a menstrual(BQ) cloth and say to them, “Away with you!(BR)”

23 He will also send you rain(BS) for the seed you sow in the ground, and the food that comes from the land will be rich(BT) and plentiful.(BU) In that day(BV) your cattle will graze in broad meadows.(BW) 24 The oxen(BX) and donkeys that work the soil will eat fodder(BY) and mash, spread out with fork(BZ) and shovel. 25 In the day of great slaughter,(CA) when the towers(CB) fall, streams of water will flow(CC) on every high mountain and every lofty hill. 26 The moon will shine like the sun,(CD) and the sunlight will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven full days, when the Lord binds up the bruises of his people and heals(CE) the wounds he inflicted.

27 See, the Name(CF) of the Lord comes from afar,
    with burning anger(CG) and dense clouds of smoke;
his lips are full of wrath,(CH)
    and his tongue is a consuming fire.(CI)
28 His breath(CJ) is like a rushing torrent,(CK)
    rising up to the neck.(CL)
He shakes the nations in the sieve(CM) of destruction;
    he places in the jaws of the peoples
    a bit(CN) that leads them astray.
29 And you will sing
    as on the night you celebrate a holy festival;(CO)
your hearts will rejoice(CP)
    as when people playing pipes(CQ) go up
to the mountain(CR) of the Lord,
    to the Rock(CS) of Israel.
30 The Lord will cause people to hear his majestic voice(CT)
    and will make them see his arm(CU) coming down
with raging anger(CV) and consuming fire,(CW)
    with cloudburst, thunderstorm(CX) and hail.(CY)
31 The voice of the Lord will shatter Assyria;(CZ)
    with his rod he will strike(DA) them down.
32 Every stroke the Lord lays on them
    with his punishing club(DB)
will be to the music of timbrels(DC) and harps,
    as he fights them in battle with the blows of his arm.(DD)
33 Topheth(DE) has long been prepared;
    it has been made ready for the king.
Its fire pit has been made deep and wide,
    with an abundance of fire and wood;
the breath(DF) of the Lord,
    like a stream of burning sulfur,(DG)
    sets it ablaze.(DH)
