Isaiah 30:10

the seers (1 Samuel 9:9.)

the prophets The word rightly rendered "seer" in Amos 7:12 and elsewhere. See on Isaiah 1:1. The prophets referred to can hardly (in view of Isaiah 30:11) be merely the false prophets, who were at the beck and call of the people, but all representatives of the prophetic office. Cf. Amos 2:12; Amos 7:12; Hosea 9:7-8; Micah 2:6; Micah 2:11; Micah 3:5; Micah 3:11; Jeremiah 6:14; Jeremiah 14:13 ff.; Ezekiel 13:10 ff.

deceits illusions; the word is used only here. It is Isaiah's own estimate that is put into the mouth of the people.
