Isaiah 30:10

A Rebellious People

⁹ For this is a rebellious people, false sons,
Sons who refuse to listen
To the instruction of the Lord;
¹⁰ Who say to the seers, “You must not see visions”;
And to the prophets, “You must not prophesy to us what is right,
Speak to us pleasant words,
Prophesy illusions.
¹¹ “Get out of the way, turn aside from the path,
Let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.”
