LEB(i)
15 Because you have said,
"We have ⌊made⌋* a covenant with death, and we have made an agreement with Sheol.
The overwhelming flood, when it passes through, will not come to us,
for we have made lies* our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves in falsehood." 16 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this:
"Look! I am laying a stone in Zion, a ⌊tested⌋* stone, a precious cornerstone, a founded foundation:
'The one who trusts will not ⌊panic⌋.'* 17 And I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plumb line; and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,* and waters will flood over the hiding place. 18 And your covenant with death will be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand; you will become a trampling place for the overwhelming flood when it passes through. 19 ⌊As often as it passes through⌋,* it will take you, for ⌊morning by morning⌋* it will pass through, in the day and in the night,
and understanding the message will be only terror." 20 For the bed is too short ⌊to stretch out on⌋,* and the covering is too narrow when wrapping oneself. 21 For Yahweh will rise up as at Mount Perazim; he will rave as in the valley at Gibeon to do his deed—his deed is strange— and to work his work—his work is alien! 22 And now you must not scoff, or your bonds will be strong,
for I have heard from the Lord, Yahweh of hosts:
complete destruction decreed upon all the land.
