There will be a flooding rain, hailstones will fall, and a stormy wind will break it. 12 When the wall falls, people will ask you, ‘Where is the whitewash you applied?’ 13 Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: In my wrath, I will unleash a stormy wind. In my anger, there will be flooding rain, and hailstones in fury will bring about destruction. 14 I will break down the wall that you plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground so that its foundation is exposed. It will collapse, and you will perish within it. Then you will know that I am the LORD. 15 So I will pour out my wrath on the wall and on those who plaster it with whitewash. I will tell you, ‘The wall is gone, and so are those who plastered it,’ 16 along with the prophets of Israel who prophesied concerning Jerusalem and claimed visions of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Lord GOD.

  • Isa 9:13-17 : 13 So the LORD will cut off from Israel both head and tail, both palm branch and reed in a single day. 14 The elders and dignitaries are the head; the prophets who teach lies are the tail. 15 Those who guide this people mislead them, and those who are guided by them are swallowed up. 16 Therefore, the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, nor will he have compassion on their orphans and widows, for everyone is ungodly and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. Yet for all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still stretched out. 17 For wickedness burns like a fire; it consumes briers and thorns. It sets the thickets of the forest ablaze, and they roll upward in columns of smoke.

  • Jer 6:12-15 : 12 Their houses will be turned over to others, along with their fields and wives. For I will stretch out my hand against the inhabitants of the land,” declares the Lord. 13 For from the least to the greatest, all are greedy for unjust gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. 14 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious, saying, 'Peace, peace,' when there is no peace. 15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed; they did not even know how to blush. Therefore, they shall fall among those who fall; at the time I punish them, they will stumble,” says the Lord.
  • Jer 8:10-12 : 10 Therefore, I will give their wives to others and their fields to new owners.
