30. Chapter 30 [Isaiah] 1-5 Those who trust in the knowledge [scientia] of the natural man, thus in their own intelligence, lead themselves astray. 2 6 The learned or the self-taught: 2 7-10 they are led astray by knowledges [scientiae], and they recede from the Word, 2 11 and from the Lord. 2 12-14 Thus they have no truth and thus again no good. 2 15 They should have trust in the Lord. 2 16, 17 Those who trust in themselves and in their own learning have no intelligence whatever. 2 18, 19 The Lord turns Himself to those who trust in Him. 11 20, 21 They will be instructed. 11 22 They will then reject those things pertaining to self-intelligence. 11 23-26 They will then have truth in all abundance, and wisdom. 11 27, 28 When those who are in the falsities of evil will perish, 15, 3 29, 30 they will then come into the delights of truth and good, from the Lord. 11 30, 31 There will be a judgment on those who trust in themselves. 15 32, 33 Those who have thereby adulterated the Word, will be cast into hell. 15
