¹² Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel:
“Because you despise this word,
    and trust in oppression
    and rely on perversity,
¹³ therefore this sin will be to you
like a crack bulging in a high wall, about to fall—
    its collapse comes suddenly,
in an instant!
¹⁴ Its collapse is like smashing a clay jar,
so ruthlessly shattered
that a shard will not be found among the pieces
to take fire from the hearth
or scoop water from the cistern.”
