14ThereforeH3651, 1hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, you 2scoffersH582H3944, Who ruleH4910 thisH2088 peopleH5971 whoH834 are in JerusalemH3389,15BecauseH3588 you have saidH559, “We have madeH3772 a 3covenantH1285 with deathH4194, And with 4SheolH7585 we have madeH6213 a 5pactH2374. 6The 7gushingH7857 floodH7752 will not reachH935 us whenH3588 it passesH5674 byH5674, BecauseH3588 we have madeH7760 8falsehoodH3577 our refugeH4268 and we have 9concealedH5641 ourselves with deceptionH8267.” 16ThereforeH3651 thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 10GodH3068 saysH559: “11BeholdH2009, I am layingH3245 a stoneH68 in ZionH6726, a testedH976 12stoneH68, A preciousH3368 cornerstoneH6438 for the foundationH4143, 13firmlyH3245 placedH3245. The one who believesH539 in it will not be 14disturbedH2363.17I will makeH7760 15justiceH4941 the measuringH6957 lineH6957 And righteousnessH6666 the levelH4949; Then 16hailH1259 will sweepH3261 awayH3261 the refugeH4268 of liesH3577, And the watersH4325 will overflowH7857 the secretH5643 placeH5643.18Your 17covenantH1285 with deathH4194 will be 1819canceledH3722, And your pactH2374 with SheolH7585 will not standH6965; WhenH3588 the 2021gushingH7857 floodH7752 passesH5674 throughH5674, Then you will becomeH1961 its 22tramplingH4823 ground.19As 23oftenH1767 as it passesH5674 throughH5674, it will 24seizeH3947 you; For 25morningH1242 after morningH1242 it will passH5674 throughH5674, anytime during the dayH3117 or nightH3915, And it will be 26sheerH7534 27terrorH2113 to understandH995 28whatH8052 itH8047 meansH8052.”
