14 You will be like a clay jar that breaks,
    smashed into many pieces.
Those pieces will be too small
    to take coals from the fire
or to get water from a ·well [cistern].”

15 This is what the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel [1:4], says:

“If you ·come back to me [repent] and ·trust [rest in] me, you will be saved.
    If you will be calm and trust me, you will be strong.”
    But you ·don’t want to do that [refused; would not].
16 You say, “No, we need horses to ·run away on [flee].”

You say, “We will ride away on fast horses.”
    So those who chase you will be fast.
