11 Say to those who smear whitewash on it that it shall fall. There will be a deluge of rain,[a] great hailstones will fall, and a stormy wind will break out.(A) 12 When the wall falls, will it not be said to you, “Where is the whitewash you smeared on it?” 13 Therefore thus says the Lord God: In my wrath I will make a stormy wind break out, and in my anger there shall be a deluge of rain and hailstones in wrath to destroy it. 14 I will break down the wall that you have smeared with whitewash and bring it to the ground, so that its foundation will be laid bare; when the city falls, you shall perish within it, and you shall know that I am the Lord.(B) 15 Thus I will spend my wrath upon the wall and upon those who have smeared it with whitewash, and I will say to you, “The wall is no more, nor those who smeared it— 16 the prophets of Israel who prophesied concerning Jerusalem and saw visions of peace for it when there was no peace, says the Lord God.”(C)

11 therefore tell those who cover it with whitewash that it is going to fall. Rain will come in torrents, and I will send hailstones(A) hurtling down,(B) and violent winds will burst forth.(C) 12 When the wall collapses, will people not ask you, “Where is the whitewash you covered it with?”
13 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: In my wrath I will unleash a violent wind, and in my anger hailstones(D) and torrents of rain(E) will fall with destructive fury.(F) 14 I will tear down the wall(G) you have covered with whitewash and will level it to the ground so that its foundation(H) will be laid bare. When it[a] falls,(I) you will be destroyed in it; and you will know that I am the Lord. 15 So I will pour out my wrath against the wall and against those who covered it with whitewash. I will say to you, “The wall is gone and so are those who whitewashed it, 16 those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw visions of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Sovereign Lord.(J)”’
