Isaiah 30:12-14

1599 Geneva Bible

¹²Therefore thus saith the Holy one of Israel, Because you have cast off this word, and trust in ^[a]violence, and wickedness, and stay thereupon,

¹³Therefore 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.

¹⁴And 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

¹²Therefore 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,
¹³this sin will become for you
    like a high wall,^(D) cracked and bulging,
    that collapses^(E) suddenly,^(F) in an instant.
¹⁴It 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.”
