Isaiah 30:11

11 auferte a me viam declinate a me semitam cesset a facie nostra Sanctus Israhel

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 populus enim ad iracundiam provocans est et filii mendaces filii nolentes audire legem Domini
10 qui dicunt videntibus nolite videre et aspicientibus nolite aspicere nobis ea quae recta sunt loquimini nobis placentia videte nobis errores
11 auferte a me viam declinate a me semitam cesset a facie nostra Sanctus Israhel
12 propterea haec dicit Sanctus Israhel pro eo quod reprobastis verbum hoc et sperastis in calumniam et tumultum et innixi estis super eo
13 propterea erit vobis iniquitas haec sicut interruptio cadens et requisita in muro excelso quoniam subito dum non speratur veniet contritio eius
