Isaiah 30:8-14

8Go and write this message down for them to see. Yes, write it in a book so that it will always be there to read. In the future, it will always show what is true.

9These people have turned against the Lord. They are his children but they love to tell lies. They do not want to obey his law.

10They say to the seers, ‘Do not see any more visions!’ They say to the prophets, ‘Do not tell us messages about what is right! Tell us nice things, even if they are not true.

11Leave this path. Get out of our way! Stop telling us about the Holy God of Israel.’

12Because of that, this is what the Holy God of Israel says: ‘You have not accepted my message. Instead, you like to be cruel and to deceive people. You believe that it will help you.

13So your sin will cause you to fall down. You will be like a high wall that has a weak place. It is not safe and it will bend and fall down. Very suddenly it will fall with a great bang!

14That wall will break into pieces, like the pieces of a pot. It will be completely broken so that it is all useless. There will be no piece that is big enough to carry coal from a fire, or water from a well.’
