Isaiah 30:8-14

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁸ Go and write it on a tablet for them.
Record it on a scroll,
so that in the future it may serve as a permanent witness.
⁹ These are a rebellious people, lying children,
children unwilling to hear the law of the Lord,
¹⁰ who tell the seers, “Stop seeing!”
who tell the prophets, “Stop prophesying what is right!
Tell us pleasant things. Prophesy illusions.
¹¹ Leave the way! Turn from the path!
Stop getting in our face about the Holy One of Israel!”
¹² This is what the Holy One of Israel says:
    Since you have rejected my word,
    and you trust in oppression and deceit,
    and you rely on them,
¹³     your guilt will be like a crack in a wall,
    bulging out and about to collapse.
    It will suddenly fall without warning.
¹⁴     It will crash like a broken clay pot,
    smashed to pieces so violently that not one useful piece will be left,
    not even a piece good enough to pick up a coal from the hearth
    or to ladle water from a cistern.
