7. Yea, Egyptians [are] vanity, and in vain do help, Therefore I have cried concerning this: `Their strength [is] to sit still.'
8. No, go in, write it on a tablet with them, And on a book engrave it, And it is for a latter day, for a witness unto the age,
9. That a rebellious people [is] this, sons--liars, Sons not willing to hear the law of Jehovah.
10. Who have said to seers, `Ye do not see,' And to prophets, `Ye do not prophesy to us Straightforward things, Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits,
11. Turn aside from the way, decline from the path, Cause to cease from before us the Holy One of Israel.'
12. Therefore, thus said the Holy One of Israel, Because of your kicking against this word, And ye trust in oppression, And perverseness, and rely on it,
13. Therefore is this iniquity to you as a breach falling, Swelled out in a wall set on high, Whose destruction suddenly, at an instant cometh.
