Isaiah 30:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 Therefore thus saith the Holy one of Israel, Because you have cast off this word, and trust in [a]violence, and wickedness, and stay thereupon,
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be unto you as a breach that falleth, or a swelling in an high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly in a moment.
14 And the breaking thereof is like the breaking of a potter’s pot, which is broken without pity, and in the breaking thereof is not found [b]a shard to take fire out of the hearth, or to take water out of the pit.

Isaiah 30:12-14
New International Version
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.”

King James Version
12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.

New King James Version
12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel:
“Because you (A)despise this word,
And trust in oppression and perversity,
And rely on them,
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you
(B)Like a breach ready to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose breaking (C)comes suddenly, in an instant.
14 And (D)He shall break it like the breaking of the potter’s vessel,
Which is broken in pieces;
He shall not spare.
So there shall not be found among its fragments
[a]A shard to take fire from the hearth,
Or to take water from the cistern.”

12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel,
“Because you despise this word
and trust in (A)oppression and perverseness
and rely on them,

(B)like a breach in a high wall, bulging out and about to collapse,
whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant;

that is smashed so ruthlessly
that among its fragments not a shard is found
with which to take fire from the hearth,
or to dip up water out of the cistern.”
