Bible verse for August 27

¹² Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says: Because you reject this word and trust in oppression and deceit and lean on them, ¹³ therefore this iniquity will be for you like a breach in a high wall, bulging and about to fall, whose collapse comes suddenly, in an instant. ¹⁴ It will break like a potter’s jar, smashed so ruthlessly that among its pieces not a fragment can be found for taking fire from a hearth or scooping water from a cistern. ¹⁵ For this is what Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, says: In returning and rest you will be saved; in quietness and trust will be your strength. But you were not willing. ¹⁶ You said, “No, we will flee on horses,” so you will flee! And, “We will ride on swift horses,” so your pursuers will be swift! ¹⁷ A thousand will flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five you will all flee, until you are left like a flagpole on a mountaintop, like a signal banner on a hill. ¹⁸ Therefore Yahweh waits to be gracious to you; therefore he rises up to show you compassion. For Yahweh is a God of justice; blessed are all who wait for him.
