Isaiah 30

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.

KJV: Isaiah 30

1Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

2That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!

3Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

4For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.

5They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.

6The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.

7For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.

8Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:

9That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:

10Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

11Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

12Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:

13Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.

14And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.

15For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

16But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

17One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.

18And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

19For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.

20And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

21And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

22Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.

23Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.

24The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.

25And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

26Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

27Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

28And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.

29Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the mighty One of Israel.

30And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.

31For through the voice of the Lord shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.

32And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the Lord shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.

33For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
