Isaiah 28:15-18
15BecauseH3588 you have saidH559, “We have madeH3772 a 1covenantH1285 with deathH4194, And with 2SheolH7585 we have madeH6213 a 3pactH2374. 4The 5gushingH7857 floodH7752 will not reachH935 us whenH3588 it passesH5674 byH5674, BecauseH3588 we have madeH7760 6falsehoodH3577 our refugeH4268 and we have 7concealedH5641 ourselves with deceptionH8267.” 16ThereforeH3651 thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 8GodH3068 saysH559: “9BeholdH2009, I am layingH3245 a stoneH68 in ZionH6726, a testedH976 10stoneH68, A preciousH3368 cornerstoneH6438 for the foundationH4143, 11firmlyH3245 placedH3245. The one who believesH539 in it will not be 12disturbedH2363.17I will makeH7760 13justiceH4941 the measuringH6957 lineH6957 And righteousnessH6666 the levelH4949; Then 14hailH1259 will sweepH3261 awayH3261 the refugeH4268 of liesH3577, And the watersH4325 will overflowH7857 the secretH5643 placeH5643.18Your 15covenantH1285 with deathH4194 will be 1617canceledH3722, And your pactH2374 with SheolH7585 will not standH6965; WhenH3588 the 1819gushingH7857 floodH7752 passesH5674 throughH5674, Then you will becomeH1961 its 20tramplingH4823 ground.
