¹⁵ Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
And with Sheol we are in agreement.
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
It will not come to us,
^(A)For we have made lies our refuge,
And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.”

¹⁸ Your covenant with death will be annulled,
And your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
Then you will be trampled down by it.

²⁷ Then he shall confirm ^(A)a ^[a]covenant with ^(B)many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,
^(C)Even until the consummation, which is determined,
Is poured out on the ^[b]desolate.”
