Isaiah 30 from Scroll 1Q Isaiaha 1 “Woe
to the rebellious children”, says Yahweh,
“who take counsel, but not from me; and who
make an alliance, but not with my Spirit,
that they may add sin to sin, 2 who set
out to go down into Egypt, and have not
asked my advice; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of
Egypt! 3 Therefore the strength of Pharaoh will be your shame, and
the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 For their princes are at Zoan,
and their ambassadors have come to Hanes. 5 6 The burden of the animals of the South. Through
the land of trouble and dryness and anguish, of the lioness and the lion, where there is no water, the viper and fiery
flying serpent, they carry their riches on
the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to an unprofitable people. 7 For Egypt helps
in vain, and to no purpose; therefore I have called her
Rahab who sits still. 8 Now go, write
it before them on a tablet, and
inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.
9 For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear
Yahweh’s law; 10 who tell the seers, “Don’t
see!” and to the prophets, “Don’t prophesy
to us right things. Tell us pleasant things. Prophesy deceits.
11 Get out of the way. Turn away
from the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.”
12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, “Because you despise
this word, and trust in oppression and 15 For
thus said 18 Therefore
Yahweh will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be
exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for Yahweh
is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him. 19 For the
people will dwell in Zion and at
Jerusalem. You will weep no more. 23 He will give the rain for your seed, with which you will sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground will be rich and plentiful. In that day, your livestock will feed in large pastures. 24 The oxen likewise and the young donkeys that till the ground will eat savory feed, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork. 25 There shall be brooks and streams of water on every lofty mountain and on every high hill in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. 26 Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, in the day that Yahweh binds up the fracture of his people, and heals the wound they were struck with. 27 Behold, Yahweh’s name comes from far away, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire. 28 His breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction; and a bridle that leads to ruin will be in the jaws of the peoples. 29 You will have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come to Yahweh’s mountain, to Israel’s Rock. 30 Yahweh will cause his glorious voice to be heard, to be heard, and will show the descent of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, storm, and hailstones. 31 For through Yahweh’s voice the Assyrian will be dismayed. He will strike him with his rod. 32 Every stroke of the rod of punishment, which Yahweh will lay on him, will be with the sound of tambourines and harps. He will fight with them in battles, brandishing weapons. 33 For his burning place has long been ready. Yes, for the king it is prepared. He has made its pyre deep and large with fire and much wood. Yahweh’s breath, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.
Isaiah 30 from Scroll 1Q Isaiahb 10 who tell the seers, “Don’t see!”
and to the prophets, “Don’t prophesy to us right things. Tell us pleasant
things. Prophesy deceits. 11 Get out of the way. Turn
away from the path. Cause the
Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.” 12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel,
“Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and
rely on it; 13 therefore this iniquity shall be
to you like a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly 15 For thus said the Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, “You will be saved in returning and rest. Your strength will be in quietness and in confidence.” You refused, [..] 21 and when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way. Walk in it.” 22 You shall defile the overlaying of your engraved images of silver, and the plating of your molten images of gold. You shall cast them away as an unclean thing. You shall tell it, “Go away!” 23 He will give the rain for your seed, with which you will sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground will be rich and plentiful. In that day, your livestock will feed in large pastures. 24 The oxen likewise and the young donkeys that till the ground will eat savory feed, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork. 25 There shall be brooks and streams of water on every lofty mountain and on every high hill in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. 26 Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, in the day that Yahweh binds up the fracture of his people, and heals the wound they were struck with. 27 Behold, Yahweh’s name comes from far away, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire.
Isaiah 30 from Scroll 4Q57 Isaiahc 7 For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose; therefore I have called her Rahab who sits still. 8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever. 9 For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear Yahweh’s law; 10 who tell the seers, “Don’t see!” and to the prophets, “Don’t prophesy to us right things. Tell us pleasant things. Prophesy deceits. 11 Get out of the way. Turn away from the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.” 12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, “Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it; 13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant. 14 He will break it as a potter’s vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing, so that there won’t be found among the broken pieces a piece good enough to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.” 15 For
thus said
Isaiah 30 from Scroll 4Q69b Isaiahr 23 He will give the rain for your seed, with which you will sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground will be rich and plentiful. In that day, your livestock will feed in large pastures.
