11. Stop telling us what God has said! We don't want to hear any more about the holy God of Israel.
12. Now this is the answerof the holy God of Israel:“You rejected my message,and you trust in violenceand lies.
13. This sin is like a crackthat makes a high wallquickly crumble
14. and shatterlike a crushed bowl.There's not a piece leftbig enough to carry hot coalsor to scoop up water.”
15. The holy Lord God of Israelhad told all of you,“I will keep you safeif you turn back to meand calm down.I will make you strongif you quietly trust me.”Then you stubbornly
16. said,“No! We will safely escapeon speedy horses.”But those who chase youwill be even faster.
