“Help From Egypt” 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, says the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

Isa 30:2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!

The Condition Of Israel Rebellious Isa 1:2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for Jehovah has spoken, I have nursed and brought up sons, and they have rebelled against Me. 3 The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master's crib; but Israel does not know; My people do not understand.

Isa 30:3 Therefore the strength of Pharaoh shall be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt shall be your curse. The Faith Of Israel Egypt

Israel’s Attitude Toward God’s Word Isa 30:9 that this is a rebellious people, lying sons. They are sons who will not hear the Law of Jehovah;

10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

Isa 30:13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant. The Result Of Rebellion Collapse

Israel’s Response To God’s Remedy Run and Ride Isa 30:16 But you said, No; for we will flee on a horse.

God Has Faster Horses 30:16b…Therefore you shall flee. And you said, We will ride on the swift; therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.

Rebellion Creates Spiritual Cowardice Isa 30:17 One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five you shall flee, until you are left as a pole on the top of a mountain, and as a sign on a hill.

The Patience Of God 18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD [is] a God of judgment: blessed [are] all they that wait for him.

Isa 30:19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; you shall weep no more; He will be very gracious to you at the voice of your cry. When He hears it, He will answer you.

Isa 30:20 And Jehovah gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction; The Chastening Of God

The Fruit Of Chastening Heb 12:11 Now chastening for the present does not seem to be joyous, but grievous. Nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who are exercised by it.

20…yet your teachers shall not be removed 21 And your ears shall hear a word… 22 You shall also defile the covering of your graven images 23 Then He shall give the rain for your seed… Summing It All Up Run To God Not Egypt
