Iz 30, 1-33

1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin: 2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt! 3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion. 4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes. 5 They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach. 6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them. 7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still. 8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever: 9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD: 10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: 11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. 12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon: 13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant. 14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit. 15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not. 16 But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift. 17 One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill. 18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him. 19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee. 20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: 21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. 22 Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence. 23 Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures. 24 The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan. 25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. 26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound. 27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire: 28 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err. 29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel. 30 And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones. 31 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod. 32 And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it. 33 For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.

Verš 5

They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.

Jer 2:36 - Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.

Verš 13

Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.

Iz 29:5 - Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.

Verš 14

And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.

Jer 19:11 - And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.

Verš 17

One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.

Iz 17:6 - Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel.

Iz 24:6 - Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

Iz 24:13 - When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.

Verš 18

And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

Prís 16:20 - He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.

Jer 17:7 - Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

Verš 28

And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.

Iz 8:8 - And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.

Iz 30,4 - Mesto Tanis (pozri pozn. k 19,11) je na ceste do mesta Hanesu. Hanes je asi dnešné mesto Ahnás. U Herodota volá sa Anusis, neskorší Gréci volali ho Veľký Herakleopolis.

Iz 30,6 - Hroch (Behemot) je ťarbavé zviera Nílu. "Ozruta" (Rachab) je tiež akési veľké morské zviera. Obe tieto zvieratá označujú tu, ale aj na iných miestach Biblie, Egypt, ktorý pre svoju pomalosť a ťarbavosť nepomôže Izraelitom. "Okrídlený drak" jestvoval, pravda, len v obrazotvornosti ľudu; prorok ho tu uvádza pri básnickom opisovaní hrôz púšte.

Iz 30,8-17 - Napísané proroctvo bude dosvedčovať, že Boh predpovedal záhubu odbojného národa, ktorému Boh a proroci stáli v ceste. No zmluva s Egyptom, ktorej cieľom bola násilná vojna proti Asýrsku, bude záhubou krajiny, ktorá bude rozbitá na márne kúsky. Izraeliti si mysleli, že na egyptských koňoch budú prenasledovať nepriateľa, stane sa však opak, nepriateľ bude prenasledovať ich.

Iz 30,20 - Rozumej: I keď bude ľud v tiesni, nebudú mu chýbať najpotrebnejšie veci pre telo a dušu: bude mať chleba a vody a nebudú mu chýbať mužovia, ktorí mu budú ukazovať pravú cestu.

Iz 30,22 - "Poškvrníš", rozumej: budeš ich pokladať za ošklivé, a preto im budeš vyhýbať.

Iz 30,24 - Prorok básnicky znázorňuje budúci blahobyt, keď ešte aj zvieratá dostanú čisté, dva razy osievané zrno.

Iz 30,25 - Aj hojnosť vody a svetla označuje blahobyt, ktorý však príde až potom, keď Boh vykoná súd. Prorok tu hovorí pravdepodobne o novom nebi a novej zemi (porov. Rim 8,21; 2 Pt 3,13; Zjv 21,1).

Iz 30,27-33 - Izraelskí pútnici prichádzali na sviatky do Jeruzalema za zvukov hudby. Podobne sa budú Izraeliti radovať, keď Boh vo svojom hneve potresce nepriateľské národy: Asýrov a ich spojencov.

Iz 30,33 - Za zvukov bubnov a hárf obetovali kedysi spohanštení Izraeliti pohanskej modle Molochovi svoje deti v údolí Hinom (Hinnom), južne od Jeruzalema, na ohnisku zvanom Tofet (2 Kr 23,10; Jer 7,31; 19,6–11; porov. 2 Kr 16,13). Takéto ohnisko je už dávno pripravené pre Asýrov a ich kráľa.
