Isaiah 28:16-22

16SoH3651 this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559:

“SeeH2005, I layH3245 a stoneH68 in ZionH6726,a testedH976 stoneH68,a preciousH3368 cornerstoneH6438, a sureH3245 foundationH4143;the one who believesH539 will neverH3808 be shakenH2363.117I will makeH7760 justiceH4941 the measuring lineH6957and righteousnessH6666 the levelH4949.HailH1259 will sweep awayH3261 your refugeH4268 of liesH3577,and waterH4325 will floodH7857 your hiding placeH5643.18Your covenantH1285 withH854 deathH4194 will be dissolvedH3722,and your agreementH2380 withH854 SheolH7585 will notH3808 standH6965.WhenH3588 the overwhelmingH7857 scourgeH7752 passes throughH5674,you will beH1961 trampled by itH4823.19As often asH1767 it passes throughH5674,it will carry you awayH3947 ;it will sweep throughH5674 morningH1242 after morningH1242,by dayH3117 and by nightH3915 H1961.”

The understandingH995 of this messageH8052will bring sheerH7535 terrorH2113.20IndeedH3588, the bedH4702 is too shortH7114 to stretch out onH8311,and the blanketH4541 too smallH6887 to wrap around youH3664.21ForH3588 the LORDH3068 will rise upH6965 as at MountH2022 PerazimH6559.He will rouse HimselfH7264 as in the ValleyH6010 of GibeonH1391,to doH6213 His workH4639, His strangeH2114 workH4639,and to performH5647 His taskH5656, His disturbingH5237 taskH5656.

22So nowH6258, do notH408 mockH3887,orH6435 your shacklesH4147 will become heavierH2388.IndeedH3588, I have heardH8085 from the LordH136 GODH3069 of HostsH6635a decreeH2782 of destructionH3617 againstH5921 the wholeH3605 landH776.
