Isaiah 30:12-14
The Message
12-14 Therefore, The Holy of Israel says this:
“Because you scorn this Message,
Preferring to live by injustice
and shape your lives on lies,
This perverse way of life
will be like a towering, badly built wall
That slowly, slowly tilts and shifts,
and then one day, without warning, collapses—
Smashed to bits like a piece of pottery,
smashed beyond recognition or repair,
Useless, a pile of debris
to be swept up and thrown in the trash.”
Isaiah 30:12-14
New International Version
12 Therefore this is what the Holy One(A) of Israel says:
“Because you have rejected this message,(B)
relied on oppression(C)
and depended on deceit,
13 this sin will become for you
like a high wall,(D) cracked and bulging,
that collapses(E) suddenly,(F) in an instant.
14 It will break in pieces like pottery,(G)
shattered so mercilessly
that among its pieces not a fragment will be found
for taking coals from a hearth
or scooping water out of a cistern.”
