Gen Z: Isaiah 30
1Yo, big mood for those rebellious kids, says the Lord. They’re taking advice from the wrong peeps and trying to flex without my spirit, just adding sin on sin, no cap.
2They’re out here trying to vibe with Egypt, not even asking me first; thinking they can get strong off Pharaoh's hype, trusting in Egypt's shade!
3So, Pharaoh’s strength gonna be your shame, and trusting Egypt? Total confusion, fr.
4His crew was chilling at Zoan, and his messengers rolled up to Hanes.
5They all felt sus about a crew that couldn’t help them at all, just straight up shame and reproach, periodt.
6The struggle with the beasts from the south: rolling into a land full of chaos, where lions and snakes are lurking, carrying their riches on young donkeys and camels to a squad that won’t even help them.
7The Egyptians are just a no-show, helping for nothing; that’s why I’m like, their strength is just sitting there, doing nada.
8Now go, write this down for them on a board, and keep it in a book, so it’s there for the future, forever and always.
9This is a rebellious squad, straight-up lying kids who won’t even listen to the Lord’s law.
10They tell the seers, “Don’t see that,” and to the prophets, “Don’t drop truth, just give us the soft stuff, hit us with those lies.”
11Get outta the way, turn aside, let the Holy One of Israel chill for a sec.
12So the Holy One of Israel is like, "Since you’re dissing this word and vibing with oppression, that’s on you."
13This messed-up vibe is gonna hit you like a wall ready to collapse, and it’s gonna be fast, no cap.
14He’s gonna smash it like a pot that shatters everywhere; no spare piece left to even grab a spark or scoop water.
15The Lord God, the Holy One of Israel says: You’ll be saved by chilling and resting; your strength is in staying calm, but you ain’t about that life.
16But you’re like, "Nah, we’re bouncing on horses!" So, you’ll bounce; you think you’re fast, but your chasers will be even faster.
17A thousand will dip when just one calls them out; at five, you’ll be running till you’re just a beacon on a mountain, standing out.
18So the Lord is gonna chill, waiting to be gracious to you; He’s gonna flex mercy because He’s a God of judgment: blessed are those who wait on Him.
19The people will vibe in Zion, in Jerusalem: no more tears; He’ll be super gracious when you cry out; He’ll hear you and respond.
20Even if the Lord gives you struggle bread and hard water, your teachers won’t be hidden anymore; you’ll see them for real.
21Your ears gonna catch a vibe behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk it out," whether you go right or left.
22You gotta ditch those silver idols and gold bling like they’re trash; just be like, "Get outta here."
23He’ll drop the rain on your crops, so you can grow mad food; the land will be all fat and thriving, and your cattle gonna feast in big pastures.
24The oxen and young donkeys that work the land will munch on clean feed, all prepped and ready to go.
25On every high mountain and hill, there’ll be rivers and streams when things get wild, and those towers gonna come crashing down.
26The moonlight gonna shine like the sun, and the sun's light gonna be seven times brighter, like a week’s worth of light, when the Lord fixes up his people and heals their wounds.
27Yo, the name of the Lord is coming from far away, burning with rage, and it’s heavy; His lips are packed with anger, and His tongue like a fire that devours.
28His breath gonna flow like a big stream, reaching up to the neck, sifting the nations with a sieve of nonsense, and putting a bridle in the mouths of the people to make them trip up.
29You’ll have a lit song, like in the night when a holy vibe is on; pure joy in your heart, like when you roll up with a pipe to the mountain of the Lord, the goated One of Israel.
30The Lord’s gonna make His glorious voice pop off, showing the power of His arm, with all the anger and fire, scattering vibes, storms, and hailstones.
31God's voice is gonna smash the Assyrian like, no cap, they’re getting wrecked.
32Everywhere that staff rolls through, it’s gonna be a whole vibe with drums and harps; in the chaos, He’s ready to pop off.
33Tophet's been set up for a minute; it’s deep and lit for the king, stacked with firewood; the Lord's breath is like a firestarter, fr.
