Isaiah 28:14-22

14Therefore, 1hear the word of the Lord, O 2scoffers, Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,15Because you have said, “We have made a 3covenant with death, And with 4Sheol we have made a 5pact. 6The overwhelming 7scourge will not reach us when it passes by, For we have made 8falsehood our refuge and we have 9concealed ourselves with deception.” 16Therefore thus says the Lord 10God, “11Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested 12stone, A costly cornerstone for the foundation, 13firmly placed. He who believes in it will not be 14disturbed.17I will make 15justice the measuring line And righteousness the level; Then 16hail will sweep away the refuge of lies And the waters will overflow the secret place.18Your 17covenant with death will be 1819canceled, And your pact with Sheol will not stand; When the 20overwhelming scourge passes through, Then you become its 21trampling place.19As 22often as it passes through, it will 23seize you; For 24morning after morning it will pass through, anytime during the day or night, And it will be 25sheer 26terror to understand 27what it means.”20The bed is too short on which to stretch out, And the 28blanket is too 29small to wrap oneself in.21For the Lord will rise up as at Mount 30Perazim, He will be stirred up as in the valley of 31Gibeon, To do His 32task, His 3334unusual task, And to work His work, His 35extraordinary work.22And now do not carry on as 36scoffers, Or your fetters will be made stronger; For I have heard from the Lord 37God of hosts Of decisive 38destruction on all the earth.
