A heavy rainstorm will undermine it; great hailstones and mighty winds will knock it down.And when the wall falls, the people will cry out,‘ What happened to your whitewash?’“ Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will sweep away your whitewashed wall with a storm of indignation, with a great flood of anger, and with hailstones of fury.I will break down your wall right to its foundation, and when it falls, it will crush you. Then you will know that I am the Lord.At last my anger against the wall and those who covered it with whitewash will be satisfied. Then I will say to you:‘ The wall and those who whitewashed it are both gone.They were lying prophets who claimed peace would come to Jerusalem when there was no peace. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!’
