God zal u weggooien als een gebroken bord; Hij zal niets en niemand sparen. Er zal geen brokstuk overblijven dat groot genoeg is om er kolen mee uit de haard te pakken of er water mee uit de vijver te scheppen."
Wat betekent dit?
This verse says that God will break something completely, like a potter's vase, with no pieces left to use. It's God speaking through the prophet Isaiah, warning that nothing will be spared from destruction.
