¹¹ But all of you are kindlers of fire,
    lighters of firebrands.^[a]
Walk in the flame of your fire
    and among the brands that you have kindled!
This is what you shall have from my hand:
    you shall lie down in torment.^(A)

⁸ Those who worship vain idols
    forsake their true loyalty.^(A)

¹⁵ Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
    and with Sheol we have an agreement;
when the overwhelming scourge passes through
    it will not come to us,
for we have made lies our refuge,
    and in falsehood we have taken shelter”;^(A)
16 therefore thus says the Lord God,
“See, I am laying^[a] in Zion a foundation stone,
    a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation:
    ‘One who trusts will not panic.’^(B)
17 And I will make justice the line
    and righteousness the plummet;
hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
    and waters will overwhelm the shelter.^(C)
18 Then your covenant with death will be annulled,
    and your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
when the overwhelming scourge passes through,
    you will be beaten down by it.^(D)
19 As often as it passes through, it will take you,
    for morning by morning it will pass through,
    by day and by night,
and it will be sheer terror to understand the message.”^(E)
20 For the bed is too short to stretch oneself on it,
    and the covering is too narrow to wrap oneself in it.

⁷ Some take pride in chariots and some in horses,
    but our pride is in the name of the Lord our God.^(A)
8 They will collapse and fall,
    but we shall rise and stand upright.^(B)
