12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel,
“Because you despise this word
    and trust in (A)oppression and perverseness
    and rely on them,
13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you
    (B)like a breach in a high wall, bulging out and about to collapse,
    whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant;
14 and its breaking is (C)like that of a potter's vessel
    that is smashed so ruthlessly
that among its fragments not a shard is found
    with which to take fire from the hearth,
    or to dip up water out of the cistern.”
