Isaiah 30:16-18
New Catholic Bible
16 “No,” you said. “We will flee upon horses.”
Therefore, you will flee.
“We will ride on swift horses,” you added.
But your pursuers will be even more swift.
17 A thousand will tremble at the threat of one;
if five threaten you, you will flee,
until you are left
like a flagstaff on the top of a mountain
or like a banner on a hill.
18 But even so the Lord is waiting to be gracious to you,
and he will rise up to grant you his compassion.
For the Lord is a God of justice;
blessed are all those who wait for him.
