The one 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 9 10canceledH3722, And your pactH2374 with SheolH7585 will not standH6965; WhenH3588 the 11 12gushingH7857 floodH7752 passesH5674 throughH5674, Then you will becomeH1961 its 13tramplingH4823 ground.
