Context — The Worthless Treaty with Egypt
9These are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to obey the LORD’s instruction.
10They say to the seers, “Stop seeing visions!” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us the truth! Speak to us pleasant words; prophesy illusions.
11Get out of the way; turn off the road. Rid us of the Holy One of Israel!”
12Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says: “Because you have rejected this message, trusting in oppression and relying on deceit, 13this iniquity of yours is like a breach about to fail, a bulge in a high wall, whose collapse will come suddenly— in an instant!Cross References

Isaiah 30:11 Summary
[This verse is talking about people who are tired of hearing God's truth and want to live their lives without being reminded of their sins, similar to what is described in Psalm 51:3-4 where David acknowledges his sin. They are essentially asking God to leave them alone and stop convicting them of their wrongdoing. As we reflect on this verse, we can see that rejecting God's truth can lead to serious consequences, as seen in Isaiah 30:12-13. We must be careful not to reject God's message, but instead, listen to His truth and respond with repentance and obedience, as encouraged in 1 John 1:9.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to 'get out of the way' in Isaiah 30:11?
In this context, it means to stop proclaiming God's truth and to remove any reminders of the Holy One of Israel, essentially asking God to leave them alone, as seen in Isaiah 30:10 where they ask the prophets to stop speaking the truth.
Why do the people want to 'rid us of the Holy One of Israel'?
The people are tired of being convicted by God's words and want to live their lives without the conviction of sin, similar to what is described in Romans 1:18-19 where people suppress the truth of God.
Is this verse only talking about the Israelites or can it apply to us today?
While the verse is specifically addressing the Israelites, the principle of rejecting God's truth and wanting to live without conviction of sin is still relevant today, as seen in 2 Timothy 4:3-4 where people will turn away from the truth and turn to myths.
What is the result of rejecting God's message like the Israelites did?
According to Isaiah 30:12-13, rejecting God's message leads to iniquity and ultimately to sudden collapse and judgment, a principle that is also seen in Psalm 9:15-16 where the wicked are caught in their own snares.
Reflection Questions
- In what ways am I trying to 'get out of the way' of God's truth in my own life, and what are the consequences of doing so?
- How can I ensure that I am not rejecting God's message like the Israelites did, and instead, embracing the conviction of sin that leads to repentance?
- In what areas of my life am I trying to 'rid us of the Holy One of Israel', and what steps can I take to surrender those areas to God?
- What are some 'pleasant words' or 'illusions' that I am listening to instead of the truth of God, and how can I turn back to the truth?
Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 30:11
Get ye out of the way: turn aside out of the path,.... These two expressions mean one and the same thing; either that the prophets would go out of their usual way of threatening ruin and destruction;
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 30:11
Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. Get you out of the way - Depart from the true "way:" so in Acts 19:9; Acts 19:23, "that way" is used of religion.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 30:11
Out of the way in which you now walk, out of you present course of preaching unsavoury and frightful things to us. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us; do not trouble us with harsh and repeated messages from God, as you used to do.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 30:11
Isaiah 30:11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.Ver. 11. Get ye out of the way.] If that be the way which you so much insist upon, warp a little, remit of your rigour. Religiosum opertet esse, sed non religentem. Let a religious man work but not to be bound. Cause the Holy One of Israel to depart from us.] Desinat ille nos per prophetas obtundere; let us hear no more of him: molest us not with so many messages from him. See Micah 2:6.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 30:11
(11) Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.—It would seem as if the iterated utterance of this Divine name by Isaiah caused a bitterness of irritation which was not roused by the more familiar “Lord,” or even by “Jehovah.” It made men feel that they stood face to face with an infinite holiness, and this they could not bear.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 30:11
11. Get ye out of the way, turn aside …] i.e. “Discontinue your hackneyed methods: adopt a more conciliatory tone, and do not seek to influence us by reiterated prophecies of evil.” cause the Holy One of Israel to cease] The meaning is not, of course, that the people disown Jehovah as the national deity, but that they repudiate Isaiah’s conception of Him as the Holy One of Israel, and the teaching based on that conception.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 30:11
Get ye out of the way - Or, rather, ‘Recede from the way;’ or ‘Turn aside from the way.’ The words “way” and “path” are used to denote the true religion, or the true doctrines of God Matthew 7:14;
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 30:11
9-11. The thing witnessed to is, that this is a rebellious people, lying children, etc. See note on Isaiah 1:2.
