Isaiah, 30

Stihovi vezani uz Isaiah, 30:

Isaiah 30 is a chapter that deals with the rebellion of the people of Judah to seek help in Egypt instead of trusting God. The prophet warns that this covenant with Egypt will be useless and that the only hope of the people is to repent and return to God. Below are five verses related to the topics addressed in Isaiah 30:

2 Chronicles 16:7-9: "At that time, seer Hanani went to King Asa of Judah and said to him, 'For you entrusted to the king of Syria and not the Lord, your God, the army of the king of Syria escaped you of the hands. It was not the Ethiopians and the Libyans an immense army, with numerous cars of war and knights? This verse speaks of the importance of trusting God rather than seeking help from political or military alliances.

Isaiah 30:7: "Egypt, whose aids are useless and vain; so I call him, 'Rahab, who extends lying down'." This verse refers to Egypt as "Rahab", a name that means proud or arrogant. Isaiah states that the pride of Egypt and his confidence in his own strength will be useless before the power of God.

Jeremiah 2:18: "And now, what do you do in the paths of Egypt, to drink the waters of the Nile? And what do you do in the ways of Assyria, to drink the waters of the Euphrates River?" This verse shows that the people of Judah sought help in both Egypt and Assyria rather than trusting God.

Isaiah 30:15: "Thus says the sovereign, the Lord, the saint of Israel: 'In repentance and rest is your salvation, in stillness and trust is your vigor, but you did not want to." In this verse, God warns the people of Judah that the only hope for them is to repent and trust him, but they refuse to do so.

Psalm 20:7: "Some trust cars and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord, our God." This verse talks about the importance of trusting God rather than trusting material things like cars and horses (or political and military covenants) for our safety and protection.
