Isaiah 28:15-17
Lexham English Bible
15 Because you have said,
“We have made[a] 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[b] 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[c] stone,
a precious cornerstone,
a founded foundation:
‘The one who trusts will not panic.’[d]
17 And I will make justice the measuring line,
and righteousness the plumb line;
and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,[e]
and waters will flood over the hiding place.
