Isaiah 30:12-14

Complete Jewish Bible

¹² Therefore here is what the Holy One of Isra’el says:

“Because you reject this word,
trust in extortion and rely on deceit,
¹³ this sin will become for you
a crack bulging out high on a wall,
showing signs it is ready to fall;
then suddenly, all at once, it breaks.”

¹⁴ He will break it like a clay pot,
ruthlessly shattering it into pieces
so tiny not even a potsherd remains
for taking fire from the fireplace
or scooping water from the cistern.
