New American Standard Bible
Isaiah 30:16-18
New American Standard Bible
16 And you said, “No, for we will flee on (A)horses!”
Therefore you shall flee!
“And we will ride on swift horses!”
Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.
17 (B)One thousand will flee at the threat of one man;
You will flee at the threat of five,
Until you are left like a signal post on a mountain top,
And like a flag on a hill.
God Is Gracious and Just
18 Therefore the Lord [a](C)longs to be gracious to you,
And therefore He [b]waits on (D)high to have compassion on you.
For the Lord is a (E)God of justice;
How blessed are all those who [c](F)long for Him.
