12 Therefore the holy one of Israel says this:

“Because you are rejecting this word
    and you trust in oppression and cunning[a]
    and you rely on it,
13 therefore this iniquity shall come for you like a breach about to fall,
    bulging out on a high wall that breaks[b] suddenly, in an instant.
14 And he breaks it like a vessel of a potter[c] breaks,
    that is crushed; he has no compassion,
and no potsherd is found among its fragments[d] to take fire[e] from the hearth,
    or to skim[f] water from the cistern.”
