Isaiah

Isaiah 30:12–13

¹²Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says:

“Because you have rejected this message,

trusting in oppression and relying on deceit,

¹³this iniquity of yours is like a breach about to fail,

a bulge in a high wall,

whose collapse will come suddenly —

in an instant!
