Isaiah 28:16-22

16thereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah, Behold, I lay in ZionH6726 for a foundation a stoneH68, a tried stoneH68, a preciousH3368 corner-stoneH68 of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not be in haste. 17And I will makeH7760 justiceH4941 the line, and righteousnessH6666 the plummet; and the hailH1259 shall sweep away the refugeH4268 of liesH3577, and the watersH4325 shall overflowH7857 the hiding-place. 18And your covenantH1285 with deathH4194 shall beH1961 annulled, and your agreement with SheolH7585 shall not standH6965; when the overflowingH7857 scourgeH7752 shall passH5674 through, then ye shall beH1961 trodden down by it. 19As oftenH1767 as it passeth through, it shall takeH3947 you; for morningH1242 by morningH1242 shall it passH5674 through, by dayH3117 and by nightH3915: and it shall beH1961 nought but terror to understandH995 the messageH8052. 20For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it; and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it. 21For Jehovah will riseH6965 up as in mount Perazim, he will be wroth as in the valleyH6010 of GibeonH1391; that he may do his workH4639, his strangeH2114 workH4639, and bring to pass his actH6213, his strangeH2114 actH6213. 22NowH6258 thereforeH6258 be ye not scoffers, lestH6435 your bonds be madeH2388 strongH2388; for a decree of destructionH3617 have I heardH8085 from the LordH136, Jehovah of hostsH6635, upon the whole earthH776.
