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.

Get out of the way
This phrase reflects a rebellious attitude towards divine guidance. In the Hebrew, the word for "way" is "derek," which often signifies a path or journey. Here, it implies a deliberate choice to reject the path God has set. Historically, Israel often strayed from God's commandments, seeking their own paths, which led to their downfall. This phrase is a stark reminder of the consequences of turning away from divine direction.

turn off the road
The Hebrew word for "road" is "orach," which can mean a well-trodden path. This suggests a conscious decision to abandon the established way of righteousness. In the context of Isaiah, the Israelites were often tempted by the allure of foreign gods and practices, leading them away from the covenant with Yahweh. This phrase serves as a caution against the seduction of worldly paths that diverge from God's truth.

rid us of the Holy One of Israel
The title "Holy One of Israel" is a profound designation for God, emphasizing His purity, separateness, and covenant relationship with Israel. The Hebrew word "qadosh" (holy) underscores God's distinct nature and His call for His people to be set apart. Historically, Israel's desire to rid themselves of God's presence reflects a deep-seated rebellion and desire for autonomy. This phrase is a sobering reminder of the human tendency to reject divine authority in favor of self-rule, which ultimately leads to spiritual and moral decay.

(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.

Verse 11. - Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. "The Holy One of Israel" was one of Isaiah's most frequent names for the Almighty. He used it especially when rebuking Israel's unholiness (Isaiah 1:4; Isaiah 5:24, etc.). The irreligious Jews were weary of this constant iteration, and wished to hear no more concerning this "Holy One," whose very holiness was a reproach to them.
