Isaiah 28:14-18

14Wherefore hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye scornfulH3944 menH376, that ruleH4910 this peopleH5971 whichH834 is in JerusalemH3389:

15BecauseH3588 ye have saidH559, WeH3588 have madeH6213 a covenantH1285 with deathH4194, and with hell are weH3588 at agreementH1285; when the overflowingH7857 scourge shall passH5674 throughH5674, it shall notH3808 comeH935 unto usH3588; for weH3588 have madeH6213 liesH8267 our refugeH4268, and underH935 falsehoodH8267 have weH3588 hidH5641 ourselves:

16therefore thusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136, BeholdH2005, I layH3245 in ZionH6726 for a foundationH3245 a stoneH68, a tried stoneH68, a preciousH3368 cornerH6438 stoneH68 of sureH539 foundationH3245: he that believeth shall notH3808 makeH3245 haste.

17And I will makeH7760 judgmentH4941 the line, and righteousnessH6666 the plummetH4949: and the hailH1259 shall sweepH3261 awayH7857 the refugeH4268 of liesH3577, and the watersH4325 shall overflowH7857 the hidingH5643 placeH7760.

18And your covenantH1285 with deathH4194 shall be disannulled, and your agreementH1285 with hell shall notH3808 standH6965; when the overflowingH7857 scourgeH7752 shall passH5674 throughH5674, then ye shall be trodden downH4823 by it.
