Isaiah 30:6-11

^{Tools
6} The ^(a)oracle concerning the ^(A)beasts of the ^(B)Negev.

Through a land of ^(C)distress and anguish,
From ^(b)where come lioness and lion, viper and ^(D)flying serpent,
They ^(E)carry their riches on the ^(c)backs of young donkeys
And their treasures on ^(F)camels’ humps,
To a people who cannot profit them;

Even Egypt, whose ^(G)help is vain and empty.
Therefore, I have called ^(d)her
“^(e)^(H)Rahab who has been exterminated.”

Now go, ^(I)write it on a tablet before them
And inscribe it on a scroll,
That it may ^(f)serve in the time to come
^(g)As a witness forever.

For this is a ^(J)rebellious people, ^(K)false sons,
Sons who ^(h)refuse to ^(L)listen
To the ⁽ⁱ⁾instruction of the Lord;

Who say to the ^(M)seers, “You must not see visions”;
And to the prophets, “You must not ^(N)prophesy to us what is right,
^(O)Speak to us ^(j)pleasant words,
Prophesy illusions.

“Get out of the way, ^(P)turn aside from the path,
^(k)^(Q)Let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.”
