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

“Because you have rejected this message,(B)
    relied on oppression(C)
    and depended on deceit,
13 this sin will become for you
    like a high wall,(D) cracked and bulging,
    that collapses(E) suddenly,(F) in an instant.

    or scooping water out of a cistern.”

both your sins(D) and the sins of your ancestors,”(E)
    says the Lord.
“Because they burned sacrifices on the mountains
    and defied me on the hills,(F)
I will measure into their laps
    the full payment(G) for their former deeds.”
