16ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 1GodH3068, “2BeholdH2009, I am layingH3245 in ZionH6726 a stoneH68, a testedH976 3stoneH68, A costlyH3368 cornerstoneH6438 for the foundationH4143, 4firmlyH3245 placedH3245. He who believesH539 in it will not be 5disturbedH2363.17I will makeH7760 6justiceH4941 the measuringH6957 lineH6957 And righteousnessH6666 the levelH4949; Then 7hailH1259 will sweepH3261 awayH3261 the refugeH4268 of liesH3577 And the watersH4325 will overflowH7857 the secretH5643 placeH5643.18Your 8covenantH1285 with deathH4194 will be 910canceledH3722, And your pactH2380 with SheolH7585 will not standH6965; WhenH3588 the 11overwhelmingH7857 scourgeH7752 passesH5674 throughH5674, Then you becomeH1961 its 12tramplingH4823 place.19As 13oftenH1767 as it passesH5674 throughH5674, it will 14seizeH3947 you; For 15morningH1242 after morningH1242 it will passH5674 throughH5674, anytime during the dayH3117 or nightH3915, And it will be 16sheerH7534 17terrorH2113 to understandH995 18whatH8052 it meansH8052.”20The bedH4702 is tooH4480 shortH7114 on which to stretchH8311 out, And the 19blanketH4541 is too 20smallH6887 to wrapH3664 oneself in.21For the LordH3068 will riseH6965 up as at MountH2022 21PerazimH6559, He will be stirredH7264 up as in the valleyH6010 of 22GibeonH1391, To doH6213 His 23taskH4639, His 2425unusualH2114 taskH4639, And to workH5647 His workH5656, His 26extraordinaryH5237 workH5656.22And nowH6258 do not carryH3917 on as 27scoffersH3917, OrH6435 your fettersH4147 will be madeH2388 strongerH2388; For I have heardH8085 from the LordH136 28GodH3068 of hostsH6635 Of decisiveH2782 29destructionH3617 on allH3605 the earthH776.
