¹² But they do not know
    the thoughts of the Lord;
they do not understand his plan,^(A)
    that he has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.

¹⁵ You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death,^(A)
    with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement.
When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by,^(B)
    it cannot touch us,
for we have made a lie^(C) our refuge
    and falsehood^[a] our hiding place.^(D)”
