12. This is the reply of the Holy One of Israel:“Because you despise what I tell youand trust instead in oppression and lies,
13. calamity will come upon you suddenly—like a bulging wall that bursts and falls.In an instant it will collapseand come crashing down.
14. You will be smashed like a piece of pottery—shattered so completely thatthere won’t be a piece big enoughto carry coals from a fireplaceor a little water from the well.”
15. This is what the Sovereign lord,the Holy One of Israel, says:“Only in returning to meand resting in me will you be saved.In quietness and confidence is your strength.But you would have none of it.
