isaiah 30:10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

isaiah 30:10 Who say to the seers, "You must not see [visions"]; And to the prophets, "You must not prophesy to us what is right, Speak to us pleasant words, Prophesy illusions.

10. (Mic 2:6, 11; 3:5).
See not--as you now do, foretelling misfortune.
Prophesy not . . . right things--Not that they avowedly requested this, but their conduct virtually expressed it. No man, professedly, wished to be deceived; but many seek a kind of teaching which is deceit; and which, if they would examine, they might know to be such (1Ki 22:13). The Jews desired success to be foretold as the issue of their league with Egypt, though ill had been announced by God's prophet as the result; this constituted the "deceits."

isaiah 30:10 Who say to the seers, "You must not see [visions"]; And to the prophets, "You must not prophesy to us what is right, Speak to us pleasant words, Prophesy illusions.
