Isaiah 30:15-17
Revised Standard Version
15 For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel,
“In returning and rest you shall be saved;
in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.”
And you would not, 16 but you said,
“No! We will speed upon horses,”
therefore you shall speed away;
and, “We will ride upon swift steeds,”
therefore your pursuers shall be swift.
17 A thousand shall flee at the threat of one,
at the threat of five you shall flee,
till you are left
like a flagstaff on the top of a mountain,
like a signal 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.”
