Isaiah 30:12

30:12 For this reason this is what the Holy One of Israel says:

“You have rejected this message;

you trust instead in your ability to oppress and trick,

and rely on that kind of behavior.


tn The sentence actually begins with the word “because.” In the Hebrew text vv. 12-13 are one long sentence.

tn Heb “and you trust in oppression and cunning.”

tn Heb “and you lean on it”; NAB “and depend on it.”
