Isaiah 28:14-18

14ThereforeH3651 hearH8085 the wordH1697 of Jehovah, ye scornful menH376, that ruleH4910 this peopleH5971 which is in JerusalemH3389.

15For ye have saidH559, We have madeH6213 a covenantH1285 with deathH4194, and with SheolH7585 have we madeH6213 an agreement; when the overflowingH7857 scourge shall passH5674 through, it shall not comeH935 unto us; for we have madeH6213 liesH8267 our refugeH4268, and under falsehoodH8267 have we hidH5641 ourselves.

16ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: Behold, I lay for foundation in ZionH6726 a stoneH68, a tried stoneH68, a preciousH3368 corner-stone, a sure foundation: he that trusteth shall not make haste.

17And I will appointH7760 judgmentH4941 for a line, and righteousnessH6666 for a 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, ye shall beH1961 trodden down by it.
