Isaiah 28:15-19 Because ye have said––We have solemnised a covenant with death, And, with hades, have we effected a vision,––The overflowing scourge, when it sweepeth by, shall not reach unto us, For we have made lying, our refuge, And, in falsehood, have we hid ourselves.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Because ye have said––We have solemnised a covenant with death, And, with hades, have we effected a vision,––The overflowing scourge, when it sweepeth by, shall not reach unto us, For we have made lying, our refuge, And, in falsehood, have we hid ourselves. ¹⁶ Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Behold me! founding in Zion, a stone, A stone of testing, The costly corner of a well–laid foundation, He that trusteth, shall not make haste! ¹⁷ But I will make–Justice, the line, and, Righteousness, the plummet,––And the hail shall, sweep away, your refuge of lying, And, your hiding–place, the waters shall overflow; ¹⁸ So shall be wiped out your covenant with death, And, your vision with hades, not stand,––When, the overflowing scourge, sweepeth past, then shall ye be thereby beaten down: ¹⁹ As often as it sweepeth past, it shall take you, away, For, morning by morning, shall it pass along, By day and by night,––And it shall be nothing less than a terror, to make out the message;
