Isaías 30:8 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 30:8

Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a
book
Meaning their sins, their rebellion against God, their trust in an arm of flesh, and contempt of the divine word; or the prophecy of their destruction, for these things; and both may be meant; which the Lord orders to be written before their eyes, in some public place, as in the temple, upon a table, a table of wood covered with wax, on which they formerly wrote, and then hung it up against a wall, that it might be read by everyone; and he would have him also engross it in a book, that it might be kept for time to come: now what God would have thus written and engrossed, must be something considerable, and of consequence; and, as it may refer to the sins of this people, may denote the blackness and detestableness of them, as being what they had reason to be ashamed of, when thus set before them; and, as it may refer to their punishment, it may signify the certainty of it: that it may be for the time to come, for ever and ever;
and so continue to their eternal infamy, and for the justification of God in his proceedings against them, and be cautious unto others. The Vulgate Latin version renders it, "for a testimony for ever", a witness for God, and against the Jews; and so the Targum,

``and it shall be in the day of judgment for a witness before me for ever.''

Isaías 30:8 In-Context

6 Profecía sobre las bestias del Neguev. Por tierra de tribulación y angustia, de donde vienen la leona y el león, la víbora y la serpiente voladora, llevan sus riquezas sobre lomos de pollinos y sus tesoros sobre gibas de camellos, a un pueblo que no les traerá provecho,

7 a Egipto, cuya ayuda es vana y vacía. Por tanto lo he llamado Rahab el destruido.

8 Ahora ve, escríbelo en una tablilla delante de ellos y grábalo en un rollo, para que sirva en el día postrero como testigo para siempre.

9 Porque este es un pueblo rebelde, hijos falsos, hijos que no quieren escuchar la instrucción del SEÑOR;

10 que dicen a los videntes: No veáis visiones; y a los profetas: No nos profeticéis lo que es recto, decidnos palabras agradables, profetizad ilusiones.
