You will be like a high wall
that bulges and cracks and is ready to collapse;
it crumbles suddenly, in a flash.

3:8 Therefore produce
fruit
that proves your repentance, and don’t begin to say

For I tell you that God can raise up children for Abraham from these stones!
3:9 Even now the ax is laid at the root of the trees,
and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be
cut down and thrown into the fire.”
