# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Isaiah describes how Yahweh will destroy the people of Judah ([Isaiah 30:12-13](./12.md)).
|
|
|
|
# He will break it
|
|
|
|
Here "it" refers to the part in the wall that is about to fall. The part in the wall is a metaphor that represents the people of Judah and their sin mentioned in [Isaiah 30:12-13](./12.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# as a potter's vessel is broken
|
|
|
|
This simile means that the piece of wall will break as quickly and completely as a clay jar that falls to the ground. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])
