10 They say to the seers, ‘Don’t see ⌊the future⌋.’They say to those who have visions,‘Don’t have visions that tell us what is right.Tell us what we want to hear. See illusions.
11 Get out of our way! Stop blocking our path!Get the Holy One of Israel out of our sight.’ ”
12 This is what the Holy One of Israel says:You have rejected this warning,trusted oppression and deceit,and leaned on them.
13 That is why your sin will belike a high wall with a bulging crack, ready to fall.All of a sudden it will fall.
14 It will break like pottery.It will be smashed, and nothing will be left of it.No piece will be big enough to carry live coals from a fireplaceor to dip water from a reservoir.
15 This is what the Almighty Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says:You can be saved by returning to me.You can have rest.You can be strong by being quiet and by trusting me.But you don’t want that.
16 You’ve said, “No, we’ll flee on horses.”So you flee.You’ve added, “We’ll ride on fast horses.”So those who chase you will also be fast.
