¹³ therefore this iniquity shall become for you
    like a break in a high wall, bulging out and about to collapse,
    whose crash comes suddenly, in an instant;^(A)

¹⁴ its breaking is like that of a potter’s vessel
    that is smashed so ruthlessly
that among its fragments not a sherd is found
    for taking fire from the hearth
    or dipping water out of the cistern.^(A)

⁷ Upon a high and lofty mountain
    you have set your bed,
    and there you went up to offer sacrifice.^(A)

²⁹ Shall I not punish them for these things?
            says the Lord,
    and shall I not bring retribution
    on a nation such as this?^(A)
