Isaías 30:12 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 30:12

Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel
The prophet introduces his message with the phrase they objected to: ministers of the word must not seek to please men, nor should they be deterred from the use of phrases, because disliked by natural men: as, in our days, men do not love to hear the name of Christ so often mentioned, or his Gospel, or the glorious truths of it; but the use of them should not be left off on that account, but rather they should be the more inculcated, as we find this phrase was; see ( Isaiah 30:15 ) : Because ye despise this word;
either this name of the Lord, "the Holy One of Israel"; or this prophecy that was delivered unto them, which reproved them for their confidence in Egypt, and exhorted them to sit still at home, and trust in the Lord; but instead of that they trusted in what was very bad, as follows: but trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon;
either in oppressors, and perverse persons, as the Egyptians were; or in their wealth, got by oppression, rapine, and fraud, which they carried to Egypt, and on which they depended for help and relief; and in that perverse disposition of mind, contradicting the Lord speaking by his prophets, resolving to take their own way, not doubting but that they should have success.

Isaías 30:12 In-Context

10 Eles dizem aos videntes:“Não tenham mais visões!”e aos profetas:“Não nos revelem o que é certo!Falem-nos coisas agradáveis,profetizem ilusões.

11 Deixem esse caminho,abandonem essa veredae parem de confrontar-noscom o Santo de Israel!”

12 Por isso diz o Santo de Israel:“Como vocês rejeitaram esta mensagem,apelaram para a opressãoe confiaram nos perversos,

13 este pecado será para vocêscomo um muro alto, rachado e torto,que de repente desaba, inesperadamente.

14 Ele o fará em pedaços como um vaso de barro,tão esmigalhadoque entre os seus pedaços não se achará um cacoque sirva para pegar brasas de uma lareiraou para tirar água da cisterna”.
