Isaiah 30:10

A Rebellious People

⁹ They are a rebellious people,
deceptive children,
children who do not want to obey the Lord’s instruction.
¹⁰ They say to the seers, “Do not see,”
and to the prophets,
“Do not prophesy the truth to us.
Tell us flattering things.
Prophesy illusions.
¹¹ Get out of the way!
Leave the pathway.
Rid us of the Holy One of Israel.”
