7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain and to no purpose.Therefore, I have called her,“Rahab who has been exterminated.”
8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet,and note it in a book,that it may serve in the time to comeas a witness forever;
9 for this is a rebellious people, lying children,children who refuse to listen to the law of the Lord;
10 they say to the seers,“You must not see visions,”and to the prophets,“You must not prophesy to us right things;speak to us pleasant things,prophesy illusions.
11 Get out of the way,turn aside from the path,let us hear no moreabout the Holy One of Israel.”
12 Therefore, thus says the Holy One of Israel: Because you despise this wordand trust in oppression and perverseness,and rely on them,
13 therefore this iniquity shall be to youas a breach ready to fall, swelling up in a high wall,whose collapse comes suddenly, in an instant.
