Isaiah 30:16-26

Isaiah 30:16-26

[16] But 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.  [17] One  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.  [18] And 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. [19] For the people  shall dwell  in Zion  at Jerusalem:  thou shalt weep  he will be very  unto thee at the voice  when he shall hear  it, he will answer  [20] And 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:  [21] And thine ears  shall hear  a word  behind  thee, saying,  This is the way,  when ye turn to the right hand,  and when ye turn to the left.  [22] Ye 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.  [23] Then 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.  [24] The 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.  [25] And 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.  [26] Moreover 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,  that the LORD  bindeth up  the breach  of his people,  and healeth  the stroke  of their wound.
