Isaiah 30:12

For this reason this is what the Holy One of Israel says: “You have rejected this message; ¹  you trust instead in your ability to oppress and trick, ²  and rely on that kind of behavior. ³ 

2Sa 12:9,10; Ps 52:7; Ps 62:10; Isa 5:24; Isa 28:15; Isa 30:1,7,15-17; Isa 31:1-3; Isa 47:10; Jer 13:25; Am 2:4; Lu 10:16; 1Th 4:8

¹ tn The sentence actually begins with the word “because.” In the Hebrew text vv. 12-13 are one long sentence.

² tn Heb “and you trust in oppression and cunning.”

³ tn Heb “and you lean on it”; NAB “and depend on it.”
