Isaiah 30:8 - 30:14

Now go, write it on a tablet before them

And inscribe it on a scroll,

That it may be in the time to come

As a witness forever.

For this is a rebellious people, false sons,

Sons who are not willing to listen

To the law of Yahweh,

Who say to the seers, “You must not see,”

And to those who have visions, “You must not behold visions for us of what is right,

Speak to us pleasant words,

Behold visions of illusions.

Get out of the way, turn aside from the path,

Cease speaking before us about the Holy One of Israel.”

12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel,

“Since you have rejected this word

And have put your trust in oppression and deviousness and have relied on them,

Therefore this iniquity will be to you

Like a breach about to fall,

A bulge in a high wall,

Whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant,

Whose breaking is like the breaking of a potter’s jar,

So ruthlessly shattered

That a potsherd will not be found among its pieces

To take fire from a hearth

Or to scoop water from a cistern.”
