Rain will come in torrents, and I will send hailstones(D) hurtling down,(E) and violent winds will burst forth.(F) 12 When the wall collapses, will people not ask you, “Where is the whitewash you covered it with?”

When it[a] falls,(L) you will be destroyed in it; and you will know that I am the Lord. 15 So I will pour out my wrath against the wall and against those who covered it with whitewash. I will say to you, “The wall is gone and so are those who whitewashed it, 16 those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw visions of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Sovereign Lord.(M)”’
