12 So this is what the Holy One of Israel says:

“You people have refused to accept this message
    and have depended on cruelty and lies to help you.
13 You are guilty of these things.
    So you will be like a high wall with cracks in it
    that falls suddenly and breaks into small pieces.
14 You will be like a clay jar that breaks,
    smashed into many pieces.
Those pieces will be too small
    to take coals from the fire
    or to get water from a well.”

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.”
