Isaiah 30:12-17

Isaiah 30:12-17

[12] Wherefore thus saith  the Holy One  of Israel,  Because ye despise  this word,  and trust  in oppression  and perverseness,  and stay  [13] Therefore 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.  [14] And 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.  [15] For 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  [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.
