<h3>Judah Warned against Egyptian Alliance</h3>30 <poetry>“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the <smallCap>Lord</smallCap>, “Who execute a plan, but not Mine, And make an alliance, but not of My Spirit, In order to add sin to sin; </poetry> 2 <poetry>Who proceed down to Egypt Without consulting Me, To take refuge in the safety of Pharaoh, And to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt! </poetry> 3 <poetry>Therefore the safety of Pharaoh will be your shame, And the shelter in the shadow of Egypt, your humiliation. </poetry> 4 <poetry>For their officials are at Zoan And their ambassadors arrive at Hanes. </poetry> 5 <poetry>Everyone will be ashamed because of a people who do not benefit them, Who are not a help or benefit, but a source of shame and also disgrace.”</poetry> 6 The pronouncement concerning the animals of the Negev:<poetry>Through a land of distress and anguish, From where come lioness and lion, viper and flying serpent, They carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys, And their treasures on camels’ humps, To a people who will not benefit them; 7 <poetry>Even Egypt, whose help is vain and empty. Therefore, I have called her “ Rahab who has been exterminated.” </poetry> 8 <poetry>Now go, write it on a tablet in their presence And inscribe it on a scroll, That it may serve in the time to come As a witness forever. </poetry> 9 <poetry>For this is a rebellious people, false sons, Sons who refuse to listen To the instruction of the <smallCap>Lord</smallCap>; </poetry> 10 <poetry>Who say to the seers, “You must not see visions”; And to the prophets, “You must not prophesy the truth to us. Speak to us pleasant words, Prophesy illusions. </poetry> 11 <poetry>Get out of the way, turn aside from the path, Stop speaking before us about the Holy One of Israel!”</poetry> 12 Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says:<poetry>“ Since you have rejected this word And have put your trust in oppression and crookedness, and have relied on them, 13 <poetry>Therefore this wrongdoing will be to you Like a breach about to fall, A bulge in a high wall, Whose collapse comes suddenly in an instant, </poetry> 14 <poetry>Whose collapse is like the smashing of a potter’s jar, So ruthlessly shattered That a shard will not be found among its pieces To take fire from a hearth Or to scoop water from a cistern.”</poetry> 15 For this is what the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, has said:<poetry>“In repentance and rest you will be saved, In quietness and trust is your strength.” But you were not willing, 16 <poetry>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. </poetry> 17 <poetry> One thousand will flee at the threat of one man; You will flee at the threat of five, Until you are left like a signal post on a mountain top, And like a flag on a hill.</poetry> <h3>God Is Gracious and Just</h3> 18 <poetry>Therefore the <smallCap>Lord</smallCap> longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the <smallCap>Lord</smallCap> is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him.</poetry> 19 For, you people in Zion, inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will weep no longer. He will certainly be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you. 20 Although the Lord has given you bread of deprivation and water of oppression, He, your Teacher, will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will see your Teacher. 21 Your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left. 22 And you will desecrate your carved images plated with silver, and your cast metal images plated with gold. You will scatter them as a filthy thing, and say to them, “ Be gone!” 23 Then He will give you rain for your seed which you will sow in the ground, and bread from the yield of the ground, and it will be rich and plentiful; on that day your livestock will graze in a wide pasture. 24 Also the oxen and the donkeys that work the ground will eat seasoned feed, which has been winnowed with shovel and pitchfork. 25 And on every lofty mountain and every high hill there will be streams running with water on the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. 26 And the light of the full moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, on the day the Lord binds up the fracture of His people and heals the wound He has inflicted.<poetry> 27 <poetry>Behold, the name of the <smallCap>Lord</smallCap> comes from a remote place; His anger is burning and dense with smoke; His lips are filled with indignation, And His tongue is like a consuming fire; </poetry> 28 <poetry>His breath is like an overflowing river, Which reaches to the neck, To shake the nations back and forth in a sieve, And to put in the jaws of the peoples the bridle which leads astray. </poetry> 29 <poetry>You will have songs as in the night when you keep the festival, And gladness of heart as when one marches to the sound of the flute, To go to the mountain of the <smallCap>Lord</smallCap>, to the Rock of Israel. </poetry> 30 <poetry>And the <smallCap>Lord</smallCap> will cause His voice of authority to be heard, And the descending of His arm to be seen in fierce anger, And in the flame of a consuming fire In cloudburst, downpour, and hailstones. </poetry> 31 <poetry>For at the voice of the <smallCap>Lord</smallCap> Assyria will be terrified, When He strikes with the rod. </poetry> 32 <poetry>And every blow of the rod of punishment, Which the <smallCap>Lord</smallCap> will lay on him, Will be with the music of tambourines and lyres; And in battles, brandishing weapons, He will fight them. </poetry> 33 <poetry>For Topheth has long been ready, Indeed, it has been prepared for the king. He has made it deep and large, A pyre of fire with plenty of wood; The breath of the <smallCap>Lord</smallCap>, like a torrent of brimstone, sets it afire.</poetry>

Whose collapse is like the smashing of a <cr>1</cr>potter’s jar, <ft>1</ft>So ruthlessly shattered That a shard will not be found among its pieces To <ft>2</ft>take fire from a hearth Or to scoop water from a cistern.”

Isaiah 30:27

His <cr>1</cr>breath is like an overflowing river, Which <cr>2</cr>reaches to the neck, To <cr>3</cr>shake the nations back and forth in a <ft>1</ft>sieve, And to put in the jaws of the peoples <cr>4</cr>the bridle which leads astray.

Isaiah 30:33

 1 “Woe to the  rebellious children,” declares the Lord, “Who  execute a plan, but not Mine, And   make an alliance, but not of My Spirit, In order to add sin to sin;  2 Who  proceed down to Egypt Without  consulting  Me,  To take refuge in the safety of Pharaoh, And to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt!  3 Therefore the safety of Pharaoh will be  your shame, And the shelter in the shadow of Egypt, your humiliation.  4 For  their officials are at Zoan And their ambassadors arrive at Hanes.  5 Everyone will be  ashamed because of a people who do not benefit them, Who are not a help or benefit, but a source of shame and also disgrace.” 6 The pronouncement concerning the  animals of the  Negev: Through a land of  distress and anguish, From  where come lioness and lion, viper and  flying serpent, They  carry their riches on the  backs of young donkeys, And their treasures on  camels’ humps, To a people who will not benefit them;  7 Even Egypt, whose  help is vain and empty. Therefore, I have called  her “  Rahab who has been exterminated.”  8 Now go,  write it on a tablet in their presence And inscribe it on a scroll, That it may  serve in the time to come  As a witness forever.  9 For this is a  rebellious people,  false sons, Sons who  refuse to  listen To the  instruction of the Lord;  10 Who say to the  seers, “You must not see visions”; And to the prophets, “You must not  prophesy the truth to us.  Speak to us  pleasant words, Prophesy illusions.  11 Get out of the way,  turn aside from the path,  Stop speaking before us about the Holy One of Israel!” 12 Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says: “ Since you have rejected this word And have put your trust in  oppression and crookedness, and have relied on them,  13 Therefore this  wrongdoing will be to you Like a  breach about to fall, A bulge in a high wall, Whose collapse comes  suddenly in an instant,  14 Whose collapse is like the smashing of a  potter’s jar,  So ruthlessly shattered That a shard will not be found among its pieces To  take fire from a hearth Or to scoop water from a cistern.” 15 For this is what the Lord  God, the Holy One of Israel, has said: “In  repentance and  rest you will be saved, In  quietness and trust is your strength.” But you were not willing,  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  One thousand will flee at the threat of one man; You will flee at the threat of five, Until you are left like a signal post on a mountain top, And like a flag on a hill. 18 Therefore the Lord  longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He  waits on  high to have compassion on you. For the Lord is a  God of justice; How blessed are all those who   long for Him. 19  For, you people in Zion,  inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will  weep no longer.

He has made it deep and large,  A pyre of fire with plenty of wood; The  breath of the Lord, like a torrent of  brimstone, sets it afire.

From Wikipedia: The New American Standard Bible (NASB) is an English translation of the Bible. Published by the Lockman Foundation, the first NASB text—a translation of the Gospel of John—was released in 1960. The NASB New Testament was released in 1963. The complete NASB Bible was released in 1971. The NASB is a revision of the American Standard Version.

The Lockman Foundation claims that the NASB "has been widely embraced as a literal and accurate English translation because it consistently uses the formal equivalence translation philosophy."
