Now go, (A)write it on a tablet in their presence
And inscribe it on a scroll,
That it may [a]serve in the time to come
[b]As a witness forever.
For this is a (B)rebellious people, (C)false sons,
Sons who [c]refuse to (D)listen
To the [d]instruction of the Lord;
10 Who say to the (E)seers, “You must not see visions”;
And to the prophets, “You must not (F)prophesy the truth to us.
(G)Speak to us [e]pleasant words,
Prophesy illusions.
11 Get out of the way, (H)turn aside from the path,
(I)Stop speaking before us about the Holy One of Israel!”

12 Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says:

(J)Since you have rejected this word
And have put your trust in (K)oppression and crookedness, and have relied on them,
13 Therefore this (L)wrongdoing will be to you
Like a (M)breach about to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose collapse comes (N)suddenly in an instant,
14 Whose collapse is like the smashing of a (O)potter’s jar,
[f]So ruthlessly shattered
That a shard will not be found among its pieces
To [g]take fire from a hearth
Or to scoop water from a cistern.”

A Rebellious People

And now, go, (A)write it before them on a tablet
    and inscribe it in a book,
that it may be for the time to come
    as a witness forever.[a]
(B)For they are a rebellious people,
    lying children,
children unwilling to hear
    the instruction of the Lord;
10 (C)who say to (D)the seers, “Do not see,”
    and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us what is right;
speak to us (E)smooth things,
    prophesy illusions,
11 leave the way, turn aside from the path,
    let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.”
12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel,
“Because you despise this word
    and trust in (F)oppression and perverseness
    and rely on them,
13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you
    (G)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 (H)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.”
