Isaiah 30:12-14

New American Standard Bible 1995

“^(A)Since you have rejected this word
And have put your trust in ^(B)oppression and guile, and have relied on them,
¹³ Therefore this ^(C)iniquity will be to you
Like a ^(D)breach about to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose collapse comes ^(E)suddenly in an instant,
¹⁴ Whose collapse is like the smashing of a ^(F)potter’s jar,
^[a]So ruthlessly shattered
That a sherd will not be found among its pieces
To ^[b]take fire from a hearth
Or to scoop water from a cistern.”
