12 Now this is the answer
    of the holy One of Israel:
“You rejected my message,
and you trust in violence
    and lies.
13 This sin is like a crack
    that makes a high wall
quickly crumble 14 and shatter
    like a crushed bowl.
There's not a piece left
big enough to carry hot coals
    or to dip out water.”

12 Therefore this is what the Holy One(A) of Israel says:

“Because you have rejected this message,(B)
    relied on oppression(C)
    and depended on deceit,
13 this sin will become for you
    like a high wall,(D) cracked and bulging,
    that collapses(E) suddenly,(F) in an instant.
14 It will break in pieces like pottery,(G)
    shattered so mercilessly
that among its pieces not a fragment will be found
    for taking coals from a hearth
    or scooping water out of a cistern.”
