8. Now go, write it before them on a tablet,inscribe it on a scroll,so in the future it will endure as a witness.
9. These are rebellious people, lying children,children unwilling to hear the Lord’s teaching,
10. who say to the seers, "Don’t foresee,"and to the visionaries, "Don’t report truthful visions;tell us flattering things;envision deceptions;
11. get out of the way;step off the path;let’s have no more ‘holy one of Israel.’"
12. Therefore, the holy one of Israel says:Because you reject this wordand trust in oppression and cunning and rely on them,
13. your sin will be like a crack in a high wall; it bulges, about to fall:suddenly, in an instant, it breaks!
14. Its breaking is like the breaking of a storage jarthat is totally shattered.No piece from among its fragments will be large enough to take fire from a hearth,or to dip water from a cistern.
