Isaiah 30:11-15 Good News Bible (GNB)

11. Get out of our way and stop blocking our path. We don't want to hear about your holy God of Israel.”

12. But this is what the holy God of Israel says: “You ignore what I tell you and rely on violence and deceit.

13. You are guilty. You are like a high wall with a crack running down it; suddenly you will collapse.

14. You will be shattered like a clay pot, so badly broken that there is no piece big enough to pick up hot coals with, or to scoop water from a cistern.”

15. The Sovereign Lord, the holy God of Israel, says to the people, “Come back and quietly trust in me. Then you will be strong and secure.” But you refuse to do it!
