Yeshayah 30:11

11 Get you off the derech, turn aside out of the orach (path), cause Kadosh Yisroel to cease from before us.

Yeshayah 30:11 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 30:11

Get ye out of the way: turn aside out of the path
These two expressions mean one and the same thing; either that the prophets would go out of their usual way of threatening ruin and destruction; or that they would go out of the way of the people, and not stand in it to hinder them pursuing their own lusts and pleasures; or that they would go out of the right way, as the Targum, which is God's way, and join with them; or, at least, connive at, and indulge them, in their ways: cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us;
do not so often make mention of his name, or come to us with a "thus saith the Lord"; let us hear no more of him, or messages from him; and especially under this character of "the Holy One of Israel", who is by nature holy, loves holiness, and requires it, and hates sin. The Targum is,

``remove far from us the word of the Holy One of Israel;''

let us hear no more of that.

Yeshayah 30:11 In-Context

9 That this is a rebellious people, deceitful banim, banim that will not hear the torah of Hashem;

10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us nekhochot (right things), speak unto us chalakot (smooth things), prophesy machatallot (deceits, illusions);

11 Get you off the derech, turn aside out of the orach (path), cause Kadosh Yisroel to cease from before us.

12 Therefore thus saith Kadosh Yisroel, Because ye despise this davar, and trust in oshek (oppression) and waywardness, and rely thereon;

13 Therefore this avon shall be to you as a cracking breach ready to fall, a bulge in a high chomah (wall), whose breaking cometh suddenly in an instant.
