Isaiah 30:1-33 Distress for the Rebellious Children Who Take Counsel of False gods

Distress for the Rebellious Children Who Take Counsel of False gods

Isaiah 30:1-33                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

Woe, [a.k.a. Distress,] to the rebellious children, [a.k.a. people,] that [get advice,] but not [from] Me, [says] the Lord, & [who] [cover] [themselves,] with a covering, but not [from] My spirit, [so] that they may add sin, to sin.]

[Isaiah 25:7 And [on] this mountain, He will destroy the [veil] that is spread over all nations, & the face covering [thrown] over all [the] people. ]

[Those] [who] walk, to go down into Egypt, to strengthen themselves in [Pharaoh's] strength, & to trust in the shadow, [a.k.a. shade,] of Egypt, & haven't asked [for a response from] My Mouth! [Psalm 17:8-9 Keep me [like] the apple of the eye, & hide me under the shadow, [a.k.a. shade,] of Your wings, from the wicked [who] oppress me, & from my deadly enemies, who [surround around] me.]

Therefore, the strength of Pharaoh shall be your shame, & [your] trust in the shadow, [a.k.a. shade,] of Egypt, [shall be] your confusion. [Isaiah 31:1 Woe to [those, who] go down to Egypt for help; & [rely] on horses, & trust in chariots; & horsemen, because [there] are many, & they are very strong. But they [don't] look to the Holy One of Israel, neither [do they] seek the Lord!]

[Hane's] ambassadors came to [him,] & his princes were [in] Zoan. They were all ashamed of a people, [who] couldn't [benefit] them, nor be [of any] help, nor profit, but [only were] a shame, & also a [disgrace.] [Isaiah 19:11 Surely, the princes of Zoan are fools. The counsel of the wise, & [Pharaoh’s counselors have] become [foolish.] How [do] you say to Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?]

The burden, [a.k.a. vision,] of the beasts of the South: they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young [mules,] & [carry] their treasures upon the [haunches] of camels, into the land of trouble, & anguish, from [where] the young & old [lions,] the [cobra,] & the fiery, flying serpent come to a people, [who] shall not [benefit] them.

[2 Kings 17:6-8 [During] the 9th year of Hoshea, [a.k.a. Hosea, Assyria's] king, [captured] Samaria, & carried away Israel into Assyria, & placed them in Hallah & in Habor, by the Gozan River, & in the cities of the Medes. For it was so, that the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, [Who] had brought them up, out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh, [Egypt's] king, & had feared, [a.k.a. respected,] other gods, which they had made, & walked, [a.k.a. followed,] in the [mandates] of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel, & the kings of Israel.]

For the Egyptians shall help in vain, & [be ineffective.] Therefore, I have cried [out] [about] this. Their strength is to sit still. Now, go, & write it [in front of] them in a [tablet,] & note it in a book, [so] that it may be for the time to come, forever & ever: That this is a rebellious people, lying children.

Children, [a.k.a. people, who] won't hear the Law of the Lord. [Habakkuk 2:2-3 And the Lord answered me, & said, Write the vision & make it plain upon [tablets, so] that he, [who reads] it may run, [a.k.a. flee.] For the vision is [still] for an appointed time, but at the end it shall [tell,] & not lie [still:] [although] it [delays,] wait for it; because it will surely [happen,] it won't [linger.]

[Who] say to the seer, [Don't] see, & [they say] to the prophets, [Don't] prophesy to us [righteous] things. Speak to us [pleasant] things, & prophesy [what is;] [deceitful.] [2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they won't endure sound doctrine; but they [will go astray] after their own lusts, [a.k.a. desires,] & & having itching ears, [to hear something,] they [shall] heap teachers to themselves. And they shall turn their ears away from the Truth, & shall be turned to fables.]

You, get out of the [road,] & turn, & [go astray] out of the path, & [make it so] [the message from] the Holy One of Israel [stops] from [being spoken] before us.

[For this reason, the Holy One of Israel [says this,] Because you despise this Word, & trust in oppression, & [wickedness,] & [rely on them;] Therefore, this [sinfulness] shall be to you [like] a [crack extending in] a high wall, ready to fall, whose breaking [comes] suddenly, [in] an instant. [Isaiah 5:22-24 Woe, [a.k.a. Distress] to [those who] are mighty to drink wine, & men of strength to [mix] strong [drinks.] Who justify the wicked for reward, [a.k.a. bribes,] & take away the [rights] of the righteous away from him! [Therefore, [like] fire [devours] the stubble, & the flame [consumes] the chaff, [a.k.a. grain hulls, like this,] their root shall be [like] [its] [rotten,] & their blossom shall go up [like] dust: because they have [thrown] away the Law of the Lord of Hosts, & despised the Word of the Holy One of Israel.]

And He shall break it, [like] the breaking of the potter's [hardened clay] vessel that is broken in pieces. He shall not spare: so that there shall not be found a [sharp] shard [from][ its] bursting, to take fire from the [fireplace] hearth, [like with a scoop.] [Jeremiah 19:10-13 Then, you [shall] break the bottle in the sight of the men, [who] go with you, & [shall] say to them, The Lord of Hosts, [says this;] Even so, I will break this people & this city, [like someone breaks] a potter's [clay] vessel, that can't be made whole again. And they shall bury them in Tophet, [until there's] no place [left] to bury. I will do [this] to this place, & to [its] inhabitants, & even make this city [like] Tophet, [says] the Lord. And the houses of Jerusalem, & the houses of [Judah's] kings, shall be defiled [like] the place of Tophet, because of all the incense they have burned upon the roofs of houses to all the host, [a.k.a. stars, & constellations,] of heaven, & have poured out drink offering to other gods.]

Or to take water out of the pit [a.k.a. cistern, with it.] For the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, [says this;] You shall be saved, in returning, & rest. Your strength shall be in quietness & in confidence, [but] you wouldn't [do this.]

[Matthew 23:37-39 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you [who kill] the prophets, & stone [those who] are sent to [warn] you. How often I would have gathered your children together, even [like] a hen [gathers] her chickens under her wings, & you would not! [Look,] your house is left to you desolate. For I say to you, You shall not see Me [after this, until] you shall say, Blessed is He, [Who comes] in the Name of the Lord.]

But you said, No; for we will flee, & ride upon the swift horses. Therefore, you shall flee. Therefore, [those who] pursue you shall be swift. 1,000 shall flee at the rebuke, [a.k.a. sharp criticism,] of 1. At the [sharp criticism] of 5, you shall flee: [until] [only] you [are] left [alone,] like a beacon, [a.k.a. lamp,] on top of a mountain, [like] a [flag] on a hill.

And therefore, the Lord will wait, [so] that He may be gracious to you. And therefore, He will be exalted, [so] that He may have mercy upon you. For the Lord is a God of judgment, [a.k.a. justice.] Blessed are all [those who] wait for Him.

[Revelation 3:19-22 As many as I love, I [reprimand & chastise.] Therefore, be zealous, & repent. [Look,] I stand at the door & knock. If any man [hears] My voice, & [opens] the door, I will come in to him, & will [dine] with him, & he with Me. I will grant to him [who overcomes,] to sit with Me [on] My throne, even [like] I also overcame, & Am [sitting] down with My Father [on] His throne. He [who has] an ear, let him hear what the [Holy] Spirit [says] to the churches.]

For the people shall dwell [at] Zion [in] Jerusalem. You [shall] no [longer] weep. [Revelation 7:16-17 They shall no [longer] hunger, & neither thirst anymore. Neither shall the light [of the] sun, nor any heat [scorch] them. For the Lamb, [Who] is in the midst of the throne, shall feed them, & shall lead them to Fountains of Living Waters. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.]

He will be very gracious to you, at the [sound] of your [out] cry, & when He shall hear it, He will answer you. [1 Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, & His ears are open to their prayers. But the face of the Lord is against [those, who] do [what is:] [evil.]

And [although] the Lord [gives] you the bread of adversity, & the water of affliction, [still,] your teachers [of faith,] shall not be removed into a corner anymore. [Jeremiah 31:33-34 *But this shall be the covenant, [a.k.a. contract,] that I will make with the house of Israel. The Lord [says,] After those days, I will put My Law [within] [them,] & write it in their hearts, & will be their God, & they shall be My people. *And every man [of] [them,] shall no [longer] teach: his [neighbor,] & his brother, saying Know the Lord. For they shall all Know Me, from the [powerless,] to the [powerful] of them, [says] the Lord. For I will forgive their [sinfulness,] & I will no [longer] remember their sin.]

But your eyes shall see your teachers, & your ears shall hear [these] [words] behind you, saying, When you turn to the right hand [side,] or you turn to the left, This is the [path,] you, walk in it. [Joshua 1:7 You, only be strong, & very courageous, [so] that you [may obey,] & do according to all the Law, [that] Moses, My servant, commanded you. [Don't] turn from it to the right hand, or to the left, [so] that you [may] prosper [where] you [go.]

You shall also defile the silver [coating] of your [carved] images, & the gold ornament of your [molded] images. You [shall throw] them away, [like] a [monthly cycle pad.] You [shall] say to it, You [get away from here.] [Isaiah 31:7 For [on] that day, every man shall [throw] away his: idols of silver, & idols of gold, [that] your own hands have made [for yourselves,] for a sin.]

Then, He shall [again] give the rain [for] your seed, [so] that you [shall] sow the ground [with it;] & [for] the bread of the [increased] [produce] of the earth, & it shall be [rich & plentiful.] [On] that day, your cattle, [a.k.a. livestock,] shall feed in large pastures. [Also,] the oxen &, the young [donkeys,] that [plow] the ground, shall eat clean [fodder,] which [has] been [separated] with: the fan, & the shovel.

And upon: every high mountain, & every high hill there, shall be rivers & streams of waters [on] the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. [Luke 13:1-5 At that [time,] there were some [there, who] told Him [about] the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had [mixed] with their sacrifices. And Jesus [answered,] & said to them, [Do] you supposed these Galileans were [worse] sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?

I tell you, [No;] but, [unless] you repent, you shall all [also] perish. Or those 18, upon whom the Tower in Siloam fell, & [killed] them, [do] you think that they were [worse] sinners above all men, [who] dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, [No;] but, [unless] you repent, you shall all likewise perish.]

[Additionally,] the light of the moon shall be [like] the light of the sun. [Revelation 21:22-24 *And I saw no Temple [in there.] For the Lord God Almighty, & the Lamb are the Temple of it. *And the city had no need of the sun, & neither of the moon, to shine in it. For the glory of God did [enlighten] it, & the Lamb is the Light [of it.] And [those] nations [who] are saved, shall walk in the Light of it. And the kings of the earth, [bring] their glory & [honor] into it.]

And the light of the sun shall be [7 times as much,] as the light of 7 days, [on] the day that the Lord [binds, a.k.a. bandages,] up the [bruise] of His people, & [heals] the [blow] of their wound.] [Isaiah 53:3-5 *He is despised & rejected [by] men. A Man of sorrows, & acquainted with grief. And we hid, [like] it were our faces, from Him. He was despised, & we [didn't respect] Him. *Surely, He [has] borne our griefs, & carried our sorrows. Yet, we [didn't respect] Him, [struck,] & smitten of God, & afflicted. *But He was wounded for our [sins.] He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement for our peace was upon Him. And with His stripes, [a.k.a. whip marks,] we are healed.]

[Watch,] the Name of the Lord [comes] from far, burning with His anger, & [its] burden is heavy. His lips are full of indignation, [a.k.a. anger aroused by injustice,] & His tongue, [is] [like] a devouring fire.

[Revelation 14:9-10 And the 3rd Angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man [worships] the beast & his image, & [receives] his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink [from] the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture, [a.k.a. not watered down,] into the cup of His indignation, [a.k.a. anger aroused by injustice.] And he shall be tormented with fire & brimstone in the presence of the holy Angels, & in the presence of the Lamb.]

And His breath, [like] an overflowing stream, shall reach to the [middle] of the neck, to sift the nations with the [strainer] of vanity. [Isaiah 11:4 But He shall judge the poor with righteousness, & [repay] the meek of the earth with equity. And He shall [strike] the earth with the rod [from] His mouth, & He shall slay the wicked with the breath of His lips.]

And there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err, [a.k.a. go a different way,] [than they intended.] [Isaiah 37:29 Because of your rage against Me, & your [violent commotion, has] come up into [My] ears, therefore, I will put My hook in your nose, & My bridle in your lips, & I will turn you back by the [road,] by which you [came.]

You shall have a song, [like on] the night when a holy [solemn feast] is kept; & gladness of heart, [like] when [someone] goes into the mountain of the Lord, with a [flute] to the Mighty One of Israel. [Isaiah 2:3 *And many people shall go & say, You, come, & let us go up to the Mountain of the Lord, & to the house of the God of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel.] And He will teach us [about] His ways, & we will walk, [a.k.a. follow,] in His paths. For the Law shall go forth out of Zion, & the Word of the Lord, from Jerusalem.]

And the Lord shall cause His glorious voice to be heard, & [with] His arm, shall [sling] the lightning [bolts] down, with the indignation of His anger, & with the flame of a devouring fire, & with tempest, & with scattering, hailstones. [Revelation 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, & there was seen in His temple, the Ark of His [Covenant,] & there was [lightning,] voices, [thundering,] an earthquake, & great hail.]

For through the [Lord's] voice, the Assyrian, [who struck] with a rod, shall be beaten down. And there shall be [tambourines,] & harps, in every place where the staff [of correction] shall pass, [that] the Lord shall lay upon him. He will fight with [the Assyrians] in battles [with much trembling.] [Jeremiah 51:20 You [are] My battle ax, & weapons of war. For I will break in pieces the nations with you, & destroy kingdoms.]

For Tophet, [a.k.a. The Valley of Hinnom, also Topheth,] is ordained, [a.k.a. appointed,] of old. [Yes,] [its] prepared for the king. He [has] made the pile [of it,] deep, & large, & much wood, & fire. The breath of the Lord, [kindles, a.k.a. Ignites,] it, like a stream of brimstone.]

[2 Kings 23:10 And he defiled Topheth, which is in the Valley of the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Hinnom, [so] that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.]

Isaiah 29:1-24 Distress for Ariel, the City Where David Dwelt

Distress for Ariel, the City Where David Dwelt

Isaiah 29:1-24                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

Woe, [a.k.a. Distress,] to Ariel, [a.k.a. Jerusalem.]. To Ariel, the city where David [lived!] Let them [continue to] kill [sacrificial] [animals,] year [by] year. [Still,] I will distress Ariel, & there shall be [heavy] [hearts,] & sorrow. And it shall be [similar] to Me [like] Ariel.

And I will [surround around] you, & camp against you. I will [wage war] against you with [an embankment,] & I will raise forts against you. And you [shall] be brought down, & [shall] speak out of the ground.

Your [voice] shall be low, [muffled like a] whisper, out of the dust, [a.k.a. dirt,] & your voice shall be, [like someone, who has] a familiar spirit, [a.k.a. someone who contacts the dead.]

[Isaiah 8:19 And when they shall say to you, Seek to [those who] have a familiar spirits, & to wizards that [whisper,] & mutter, shouldn't a people seek to their God? For the Living, [not] to the dead?]

[Also,] the multitude of your strangers, [a.k.a. foreigners,] shall be like [fine] dust, & the multitude of the terrible, [a.k.a. ruthless,] ones shall be [like stubble,] that [passes] away. [Yes,] it shall be suddenly, [in] an instant. [Hosea 13:2-4 And now they sin [even] more & more, & have made [themselves molded] images [from] their silver, & idols according to their own [skill.] All of it [is] the work of craftsmen. They say [to] them, Let the men, [who] sacrifice, kiss the [gold] calves. Therefore, they shall be [like] the morning cloud, & the early dew that [passes] away. [Like] the chaff, [a.k.a. grain hulls,] that [are blown] [away] out of the [threshing] floor [by] the whirlwind, & [like] smoke [drifts away] out of the chimney. [Still,] I Am the Lord your God, from the land of Egypt, & you [shall] know no god, but Me. For there is no [Savior] beside Me.]

You [shall] be visited, [a.k.a. punished,] by the Lord of Hosts with: thunder, an earthquake, [loud] noise, storm, tempest, & the flame of devouring fire. [Isaiah 30:30 And the Lord shall cause His glorious voice to be heard, & shall [sling] the lightning [bolts] down [from] His arm, with the indignation of His anger, & with the flame of a devouring fire, tempest, [a.k.a. severe storm,] & scattering, & hailstones.]

And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her, & her [armory of] [weapons,] & [who] distress her, shall be [like] a vision [in] a dream [at] night. It shall even be [like] when [a] hungry man [dreams] [that] he [eats,] but [when] he [wakes up,] his [stomach] is empty.

Or [like] when a thirsty man [dreams] [that] he [drinks;] but [when] he [wakes up,] he is faint, & his [stomach] [still] [has an] appetite. So shall the multitude of the nations be, [who] fight against Mount Zion. [Stop] yourselves, & wonder. You cry out, & [weep.]

They are [drunk,] but not with wine. They stagger, but not with strong drink. [Isaiah 5:22-23 Woe, [a.k.a. Distress] to [those who] are mighty to drink wine, & men of strength to [mix] strong [drinks.] Who justify the wicked for reward, [a.k.a. bribes,] & take away the [rights] of the righteous away from him!]

For the Lord [has] poured out the spirit of deep sleep upon you, & [has] closed your eyes. He [has] covered [the eyes of:] the prophets, your rulers, & the seers. [Isaiah 6:9-10 *And He said, Go, & tell this people, You indeed hear, but [don't] understand. You indeed see, but don't [recognize.]

*Make the heart of this people fat, & make their ears heavy, & shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, & hear with their ears, & understand with their heart, & convert & be healed.]

And the vision of all [has] become to you, [like] the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to [someone, who is educated,] saying, I pray [that] you read this. And he [says,] I can't; [because] it's sealed. And the book is delivered to him, [who isn't educated,] saying, I pray [that] you read this, & he says, I'm not [educated.]

*[For this reason,] the Lord said, [Since] this people draw near Me with their mouth, & [honor] Me with their lips, but have removed their heart far from Me, & their fear, [a.k.a. respect,] toward Me is taught by the precept, [a.k.a. commandment,] of men.

Therefore, [watch,] I will proceed to do a [marvelous] work, among this people. Even a marvelous work & a wonder, [a.k.a. miracle:] for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, & the understanding of their [sensible] men shall be [hidden.]

[Distress] to [those who search] deep to hide their [advice] from the Lord, & their works, [a.k.a. deeds,] are [hidden] in the dark, & they say, Who [sees] us? And Who [knows] us? Surely, your turning things [topsy-turvy,] shall be [regarded like] the potter's clay. For shall the work say of him, [who] made it, He [didn't make] me?

Or shall the thing framed say of him, [who framed] it, He had no understanding? [Romans 9:20-21 [No,] but who [are] you, O man, who [speaks] against God? Shall the thing formed say to him, [Who] formed it, Why [have] You made Me [like this?] Hasn't the potter power over the same lump of clay, to make one vessel to [honor,] & another to [dishonor?]

Isn't it [still] a very [short time,] [until] Lebanon shall be [returned] into a fruitful, [a.k.a. plentiful,] field, & the fruitful field, shall be [regarded like] a forest? And [on] that day, the deaf shall hear the Words of the Book, & the eyes of the blind shall see, out of [blurriness,] & darkness.

The meek, [a.k.a. humble,] shall also increase their joy in the Lord, & the poor men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. [Isaiah 11:4 But He shall judge the poor with righteousness, & [repay] the meek, [a.k.a. humble,] of the earth with equity. And He shall [strike] the earth with the rod [from] His mouth, & He shall slay the wicked, with the breath [from] His lips.]

For the [ruthless] one is brought to [nothing,] & the scorner, [a.k.a. a person who looks down on others,] is [devoured.] And all [who] watch for [what is:] [sinful,] are cut off. [Proverbs 14:22 Don't they err, [a.k.a. Go astray, who] devise [what is:] evil? But mercy & truth shall be to [those who] devise good.]

[Who with] a word, make a man an offender. [Deuteronomy 19:18-19 And the judges shall diligently [investigate;] & [see,] if the witness [is] a false witness, & [has] testified falsely against his brother; then you shall do to him, [like] he thought to have done to his brother. [Like this,] you [shall] put the evil away from among you.]

And [those who] lay a [trap] for him [who expresses disapproval,] in the gate, & turns aside the [person who has a] just [case,] for a thing [that is] [nothing.] [Amos 5:11-12 Therefore, [since] your [trampling] is upon the poor, & you take from him burdens, [a.k.a. loads,] of wheat: you have built houses of [cut] stone, but you shall not [live] in them. You have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink wine [from] them. For I know your [multitude] of transgressions, & your mighty sins. They afflict the just, & they take a bribe, & in the gate, they turn aside the poor, from their [rights.]

Therefore, the Lord, Who redeemed Abraham, [says this about] the house of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel,] Jacob shall not be ashamed now, & neither shall his face [grow] pale. But when he [sees] his children, the work of [My] hands, in the midst of [Israel,] they shall sanctify My Name, & sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, & shall fear, [a.k.a.respect] the God of Israel. [Philippians 2:5-11 Let [your] [minds within] you, also be [like that] in Christ Jesus, Who [is] in the [image] of God, & thought it not [a crime] to be equal with God. But made Himself of no reputation, [a.k.a. without status,] & was made in the likeness of men, & took upon [Himself] the [image] of a servant. And being found in [the image like] a man, He humbled Himself, & became obedient [until] death, even the death [on] the cross. *[For this reason,] God [has] also highly exalted Him, & [has] given Him a Name [that] is above every Name. That every knee should bow at the Name of Jesus, of things in heaven, & things [on] earth, & things under the earth. *And [so] that every tongue, [a.k.a. language,] should confess to the glory of God the Father, that Jesus Christ Is Lord.]

[Those who] also erred in spirit, shall come to [know] understanding, & [those who grumbled] shall learn doctrine, [a.k.a. teaching.]  [Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus [for] good works, which God [has previously] ordained, that we should walk, [a.k.a. follow,] in them.]
