Isaiah 30:15-17
Complete Jewish Bible
15 For this is what Adonai Elohim,
the Holy One of Isra’el, says:
“Returning and resting is what will save you;
calmness and confidence will make you strong —
but you want none of this!
16 ‘No!’ you say, ‘We will flee on horseback!’
Therefore you will surely flee.
And, ‘We will ride on swift ones!’
So your pursuers will be swift.
17 A thousand will flee at the threat of one,
you all will flee at the threat of five,
until you are left isolated,
like a flagstaff on a mountaintop,
like a banner on a hill.”
Isaiah 30:15-17
New International Version
15 This is what the Sovereign(A) Lord, the Holy One(B) of Israel, says:
“In repentance and rest(C) is your salvation,
in quietness and trust(D) is your strength,
but you would have none of it.(E)
16 You said, ‘No, we will flee(F) on horses.’(G)
Therefore you will flee!
You said, ‘We will ride off on swift horses.’
Therefore your pursuers will be swift!
17 A thousand will flee
at the threat of one;
at the threat of five(H)
you will all flee(I) away,
till you are left(J)
like a flagstaff on a mountaintop,
like a banner(K) on a hill.”
