¹⁰ because they’ve truly caused my people to stray saying, “Peace,” but there’s no peace.’”

Metaphor of the Whitewashed Wall

“When someone builds a wall, they coat it with whitewash. ¹¹ Tell those who coat it with whitewash that it will fall. It will be washed off by the rain. Great hailstones will fall and a stormy wind will strip it off.^{[a] 12} Look! When the wall collapses, won’t it be said of you, ‘Where’s the coat of paint that you spread all over the wall?’
