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 910canceledH3722, And your pactH2374 with SheolH7585 will not standH6965; WhenH3588 the 1112gushingH7857 floodH7752 passesH5674 throughH5674, Then you will becomeH1961 its 13tramplingH4823 ground.19As 14oftenH1767 as it passesH5674 throughH5674, it will 15seizeH3947 you; For 16morningH1242 after morningH1242 it will passH5674 throughH5674, anytime during the dayH3117 or nightH3915, And it will be 17sheerH7534 18terrorH2113 to understandH995 19whatH8052 itH8047 meansH8052.”20The bedH4702 is tooH4480 shortH7114 on which to stretchH8311 out, And the 20blanketH4541 isH6887 tooH6887 21smallH6887 to wrapH3664 oneself in.21For the LordH3068 will riseH6965 upH6965 as at MountH2022 22PerazimH6559, He will be stirredH7264 upH7264 as in the ValleyH6010 of 23GibeonH1391, To doH6213 His 24taskH4639, His 2526unusualH2114 taskH4639, And to workH5647 His workH5656, His 27extraordinaryH5237 workH5656.22And nowH6258 do not carryH3917 onH3917 asH3917 28scoffersH3917, OrH6435 your shacklesH4147 will be madeH2388 strongerH2388; For I have heardH8085 from the LordH136 29GodH3068 of armiesH6635 Of decisiveH2782 30destructionH3617 on allH3605 the earthH776.
