Isaiah 30:11

11 get out of the way; step off the path; let's have no more ‘holy one of Israel.'"

Isaiah 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.

Isaiah 30:11 In-Context

9 These are rebellious people, lying children, children unwilling to hear the LORD's teaching,

10 who say to the seers, "Don't foresee," and to the visionaries, "Don't report truthful visions; tell us flattering things; envision deceptions;

11 get out of the way; step off the path; let's have no more ‘holy one of Israel.'"

12 Therefore, the holy one of Israel says: Because you reject this word and trust in oppression and cunning and rely on them,

13 your sin will be like a crack in a high wall; it bulges, about to fall: suddenly, in an instant, it breaks!
