Isaiah 30:12-15
New American Standard Bible
12 Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says:
“(A)Since you have rejected this word
And have put your trust in (B)oppression and crookedness, and have relied on them,
13 Therefore this (C)wrongdoing will be to you
Like a (D)breach about to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose collapse comes (E)suddenly in an instant,
14 Whose collapse is like the smashing of a (F)potter’s jar,
[a]So ruthlessly shattered
That a shard will not be found among its pieces
To [b]take fire from a hearth
Or to scoop water from a cistern.”
15 For this is what the Lord [c]God, the Holy One of Israel, has said:
“In [d]repentance and (G)rest you will be saved,
In (H)quietness and trust is your strength.”
But you were not willing,
