Isaiah 30:8

Context

30:8 Now go, write it 1  down on a tablet in their presence, 2 

inscribe it on a scroll,

so that it might be preserved for a future time

as an enduring witness. 3 

1 tn The referent of the third feminine singular pronominal suffix is uncertain. Perhaps it refers to the preceding message, which accuses the people of rejecting the Lord’s help in favor of an alliance with Egypt.

2 tn Heb “with them.” On the use of the preposition here, see BDB 86 s.v. II אֵת.

3 sn Recording the message will enable the prophet to use it in the future as evidence that God warned his people of impending judgment and clearly spelled out the nation’s guilt. An official record of the message will also serve as proof of the prophet’s authority as God’s spokesman.
