Isaiah 30:10

A Rebellious People

⁹ For they are a rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to hear the LORD's instruction. ¹⁰ They say to the seers, "Don't see visions,' and to the prophets, "Don't give us visions of what is right! Instead, tell us welcome things, prophesy illusions, ¹¹ get out of the way, turn aside from the path, and stop confronting us with the Holy One of Israel."
