Context of Isaiah 30:13
11get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us! 12Therefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: Because ye reject this word, and confide in oppression and wilfulness, and depend thereon, therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a towering wall, whose breaking shall come suddenly in an instant. 14And he shall break it as the breaking of a potter's vessel, that is broken in pieces unsparingly; and in the pieces of it there shall not be found a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to scoop water out of the cistern. 15For thus saith the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall ye be saved, in quietness and confidence shall be your strength; but ye would not.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13Therefore this iniquity - That is, this refusing to trust in Yahweh, and this intention to seek the alliance of Egypt.
