Isaiah 30:13-15

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹³ therefore this iniquity shall be to you
    like a break in a high wall, bulging out, and about to collapse,
    whose crash comes suddenly, in an instant;
¹⁴ and its breaking is like that of a potter’s vessel
    which is smashed so ruthlessly
that among its fragments not a sherd is found
    with which to take fire from the hearth,
    or to dip up water out of the cistern.”
