7. For Egypt shall help in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I named her, Arrogance, that doeth nothing.
8. Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and record it in a book, that it may be for the time to come, as a witness for ever,
9. that this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of Jehovah;
10. who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things; speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits;
11. get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us!
12. Therefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: Because ye reject this word, and confide in oppression and wilfulness, and depend thereon,
13. therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a towering wall, whose breaking shall come suddenly in an instant.
14. And he shall break it as the breaking of a potter's vessel, that is broken in pieces unsparingly; and in the pieces of it there shall not be found a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to scoop water out of the cistern.
15. For thus saith the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall ye be saved, in quietness and confidence shall be your strength; but ye would not.
