when your terror comes like a storm; and your devastation arrives like a tempest, when distress and anguish come upon you.

A man who hardens his neck when reproved shall be suddenly broken, and there will be no healing.

Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to desolation.

like a dream when one awakes; so, O Lord, when You awake, You shall despise their image.

therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, a bulge in a high wall, whose crashing comes suddenly in an instant.

For when they say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall by no means escape.

But they mocked the messengers of God, despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets, to make the wrath of Jehovah swell up against His people, till there was no healing.

Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be no one to deliver.

and shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, Even so I will break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again. And they shall bury them in Tophet until there is no place left to bury.
