That (A)this is a rebellious people,
Lying children,
Children who will not hear the law of the Lord;
10 (B)Who say to the seers, “Do not see,”
And to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us right things;
(C)Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits.
11 Get out of the way,
Turn aside from the path,
Cause the Holy One of Israel
To cease from before us.”

12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel:

“Because you (D)despise this word,
And trust in oppression and perversity,
And rely on them,
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you
(E)Like a breach ready to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose breaking (F)comes suddenly, in an instant.
